Council Alumnus of the Year AwardHonoring Outstanding Alumni at the Local LevelMighty oaks from little acorns grow...The Council Alumnus of the Year Award features an acorn, a reminder that Scouts and Scouters plant trees under which they may never sit. It is in that vein that the award was created as it recognizes those that promote and share the gift of Scouting through their careers, avocations, and their influence. The Council Alumnus of the Year Award is different than other awards in Scouting as it does not simply recognize the individual for being a distinguished person or honor those giving time and energy to the BSA as a volunteer leader; Scouting already has awards that do that. It is more of a combination between the two. Primary consideration is given to those that remind Scouting alumni to maintain a lifetime relationship with Scouting, which enables Scouting to remain healthy for future generations. In addition, potential recipients of the award may be nominated based on the three following categories:
We are trying to recognize folks who are not only distinguished but are also continuing to give back to Scouting or share Scouting's message with others.
