District Award of Merit
The Award of Merit is the highest award a District can offer an adult Scouter. To qualify for the award,
the Scouter must have given outstanding service to youth through Scouting at the District Level.
Normally, the award is presented for service to youth in excess of five years. The nominee must be a
currently registered adult leader in the San Diego- Imperial Council and should have rendered some
service outside the requirements of the registered position in a unit.
Keep in mind that the Selection Committee must make their selections based only on the information
contained on the nomination form. It is important that the nominator take the time to put together a
detailed history of the individual’s service to Scouting, their community involvement, and service to
youth outside Scouting. It is nice to surprise the candidate with an award but, if necessary, obtain the
information from the candidates themselves or someone close to them.
Please Note: It is expected that the nominator and the recipient would attend Mission District’s
Recognition Dinner. Submit your reservations at the same time as the nomination.
Please type or neatly handwrite the nomination form. Use additional pages as needed.
