Awards and recognition
A message from Dwayne
Our awards: Recognising our fellow Scouts
Saying thank you and well done is one of the simplest, but most powerful ways to recognise our fellow volunteers. It really does count for so much.
That’s why our award scheme is so important. Recognising people’s contribution in a meaningful way will leave them feeling valued and motivated.
I’d therefore be grateful if you can put people forward for our award scheme. Service Awards are there make people feel even more special – beyond a simple word of thanks.
We know you’re busy with Scouts and your other commitments, which is why we aim to make the nomination process as simple as possible. You should find everything you need here. But remember, our National Awards Advisory Group is also here to help.
It’s also important we recognise those adults and young people who’ve shown courage in adversity and quick thinking in the face of danger. You’ll also find out how to nominate people for Gallantry and Meritorious Conduct, including the Cornwell Scout Badge.
Please think carefully about the most deserving volunteers and make your nomination. An award will mean so much to them.
Thank you,
Dwayne Fields
