Unit Chosen Outstanding Volunteer Awards

Each year we ask units to highlight select volunteers for doing incredible work serving the Scouts. These awards may go to adults who serve in an official position for the unit who have done a standout job. Units may also choose to recognize people who have stepped up in various ways, such as spearheading fundraising or being a key person for planning pinewood derby or a big high adventure outing.
