Dear Big Apple Scouters,
Every week volunteers as you put in countless hours of service to your Packs, Troops, Crews, and Ships and that work doesn’t go unseen. We all volunteer in the BSA because we believe in its mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. And while we do not do this work seeking recognition, we celebrate those that have had an extraordinary impact on our program with various awards. This also helps us keep more volunteers engaged when they feel valued by their peers.
Our Ask: Please nominate those that have helped your unit operate with excellence over the last year for the following awards:
Certificate of Appreciation: Presented to volunteers that provide outstanding service to their units over the last year.
Outstanding New Leader Award: Presented each year to
Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, Venturing Advisors, and Sea Scout Skippers who are
new to their roles, yet have ensured that in their brief tenure as
primary leaders the full Scouting program has been brought to
their units.
Please submit your nominations to Patricia Bain, the Awards Committee Chair, via email at patricia.bain@gmail.com, on or before Friday, May 20, 2022.
Mark your calendars: Our recognition event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at 6 PM at The Players (16 Gramercy Park South, New York, NY 10003). The registration and honoree’s list will be available shortly and will be distributed via email.
