Cherokee Scouter Awards
Cherokee District Adult Leader Awards
In 2004 the Cherokee District implemented a set of awards designed to recognize various marks of excellence in Cherokee Scouters. These awards are presented annually at the Cherokee District Banquet. These awards have evolved over time and have been amended to better fit with the original intention of the awards. Please nominate the adult leaders in your unit that you feel should be recognized for the good work they are doing with your unit.
Description of Awards

Pioneer Award This award is intended as a way for the District to recognize those new leaders (with less than 2 years tenure) who have gone far and above the expectations for a new adult volunteer with their work at the unit level. Up to 4 of these awards may be presented in a given calendar year based on the nominations that the district receives. If you have a new leader that has done a fantastic job for your pack, troop, crew, or post then please help us to recognize them by nominating them for the pioneer award.
