District Award of Merit

The District Award of Merit is a council award presented by the District.
The award is available to any registered Scouter who renders service of an outstanding nature on the district level.
Requirements:
| A nominee must be a registered Scouter. | |
| A nominee must have rendered noteworthy service to youth. (The nature and value of "noteworthy service to youth" may consist of a single plan or decisions that contributed vitally to the lives of large numbers of youth, or it may have been given to a small group over an extended time.) | |
| The nominee should have contributed some type of service to youth outside of Scouting as well. | |
| Consideration should be given to the nominee's position and the corresponding opportunity to render outstanding service beyond the expectations of duty. The nominee's attitude toward and cooperation with the district division and council is to be taken into consideration. |
The nomination is confidential. To avoid possible disappointment, the committee should not advise the nominee of action on his or her behalf. ( The above information taken from the Advancement Committee Handbook )
