Baden-Powell District Awards

The Baden-Powell District is proud to announce that Alexandra Smallberger has been selected as a recipient of the 2024-2025 District Award of Merit, the highest honor bestowed upon a Scouter at the district level!

Nominations for the 2024-2025 program year are now being accepted!

Recognize Scouters and Scouts who make a difference!

As members of the Scouting family—parents, leaders, alumni, and friends—we have all witnessed the profound impact of BSA programs on our community’s youth. The volunteers in the Baden-Powell District dedicate immense effort behind the scenes, ensuring that every child enjoys a remarkable Scouting journey. From their initial steps as Lion Cubs to their proud ascent as Eagles, and every moment in between, our volunteers make it all possible. The success of Pinewood Derbies, Camporees, hikes, and unit meetings hinges on the tireless support of numerous leaders who give generously of their time.

The District Awards are our opportunity to honor those Scouters who have made a significant impact, either in your unit or in the life of your child. Whether they are parents, registered leaders, Den Chiefs, or representatives from your Chartered Organization, we want to hear about them. Please nominate these exceptional individuals for a District Award using the button below.
