District Award of Merit
The District Award of Merit is a council award presented by Districts in the same manner that the Silver Beaver is a national award presented by councils. The “DAM” award is the top award presented by Districts to Volunteers who render service of an outstanding nature at the District level. The recipient must be nominated for the award by another Scouter, and vetted by the District Key 3. Our District is only allowed to appoint 2 of these awards per year. Any attempt at self-nomination will disqualify a candidate.
Unit Leader Award of Merit
Awarded to a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Advisor or Skipper. This award must be nominated by the Unit Committee Chair.
Distinguished Commissioner Service Award
The Distinguished Commissioner Service Award is the highest recognition that can be given to a commissioner who has consistently engaged in distinguished and exceptional commissioner service resulting in significant, positive impact to youth, units, and a district and/or council.
