** The Awards were presented to the recipients at the May 2003 Roundtable Meetings.

ALL volunteer leaders in the BSA Program deserve to be recognized for their efforts and sacrifices for our youth. The Scouting program offers such recognitions in the form of Training Awards, which are worn above the left uniform pocket as knots. LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE for submitting their own awards to the unit Committee Chairman for approvals and forwarding it on to NWSC.

Award forms are found in the New CS Leader Books and in the Scoutmaster's Handbook, or stop in and visit the Scout Shop to get a blank one.

To qualify for a leader training recognition knot:

  • You must be registered in the position you are requesting a knot for.
  • You must have completed all the required training.
  • You must have completed however many elective requirements the award calls for.
  • Your Committee Chairman, or Cubmaster/Scoutmaster must sign all the places on the form for their signatures.
  • You may earn only one knot during the tenure time specified for the knot. (Only one knot for every year or two of registered service, depending upon the requirements of the award.)
  • Awards are not retroactive. You must apply for the award within two years of the registered service or the training award is forfeited.

    YES, IT IS JUST LIKE EARNING A RANK! You DO DESERVE the award, so please apply for it. All awards are presented at the District Roundtables that are held once a month. This is the only place that awards may be picked up.

    Please be mindful that it does take time to process the awards, so awards submitted during the month, will not be presented until the following month.

    Get started now with training, and good luck on the elective requirements. Be sure you are registered in the correct positions. If you are not sure, simply call Dee at 847-824-6880 and ask her to check. Best wishes and here's hoping to start receiving many more award applications!!
