Scouting America’s Alumnus of the Year Awards

Scouting America Council Alumnus of the Year Award

Overview

The Scouting America Alumnus of the Year Awards are Scouting Alumni’s highest recognition for service to the alumni effort at each of the three levels. The award was established to recognize alumni of Scouting America who, over a sustained period of time, have used the skills and values they learned through their association with Scouting to make significant and long-lasting contributions to their local communities through their efforts toward strengthening Scouting through the Alumni programs.

This award is not a person-of-the-year award, general lifetime achievement award, or different versions of the Silver Beaver, Silver Antelope, or Silver Buffalo Awards. It is to recognize significant alumni effort.

Who can Earn the Award

The Council Alumnus of the Year Award is given for exceptional service to the alumni movement on a council-wide basis. Each council may select one nominee for this award annually. The council must notify the national office of their selection allowing accurate record keeping and current website information. The national office will forward a certificate to be signed locally for a formal presentation at a public event.

The Territories Alumnus of the Year Award is given for remarkable service to the Alumni movement above the Council level.  A maximum of four total awards are presented annually. 

The National Alumnus of the Year Award is given for exemplary service to the alumni movement on a national level. One award is presented annually.
