District Award of Merit

Leader Awards and Recognition The District Award of Merit is the highest honor a district can give to an adult volunteer.  This is an official BSA sanctioned award.  The number of awards a district can bestow is related to the number of units; Cub Packs, Scout Troops, Venturing Units, and Explorer Posts.  We made it to three awards!  This is a wonderful achievement.  Congratulations Indian Prairie.

District Special Recognitions

The district awards special recognition to adult volunteers across our District who have been identified for these awards.  Typically, the Spark Plug is given to someone who has recently stepped up and has been identified as having great potential for contributing in the future to our district and "sparking" our engine with enthusiasm.  The Oil Can award is generally given to someone who over time has consistantly contributed to the success of scouting in our district and "lubricates" our engine of success.
