Adult Recognition Awards
Adult Recognition Awards
Nominations are now open for the Adult Recognition Awards for Scouts Australia (SA Branch) and will close on Monday, February 17, 2025.
The Scouts Australia website details the nomination process, including a full guide to each award and a quick, easy hint sheet. Visit Adult Recognition Award Nominations 2025 | Scouts Australia for further information.
A list of all eligible members will be distributed to all Commissioners for distribution to Groups/Teams.
Eligibility represents those adult members who have not received an award in a determined period. This does not preclude you from considering nominating a Member for a unique and highly valued contribution to the well-being of Scouting outside this suggested time frame.
Where possible, please collaborate with your peers to provide evidence to substantiate a nomination, particularly if a nominee has more than one Scouting role.
