Adult Recognition Awards
Congratulations recipients!
Thanking Members
For Service to Scouting
Each year Scouts Queensland has the opportunity to recognise Adult Members who have gone above and beyond in the delivery, support, and implementation of our Youth Program.
The Adult Recognition Awards are presented to Members for their dedication and quality service to Scouting, delivered over a considerable period. This involves carrying out the responsibilities of an appointment or position to a consistently high standard of quality.
When being presented with your first Award, you will also receive a distinctive pin to wear in civilian attire. This is a silver lapel badge based on the national logo.
