Adult Awards

Awards for Good Service

In Scouting we have various Awards to recognise achievement. Good Service Awards are typically for members and associate members who have completed relevant training for their roles, within required time frames and who have consistently given service over and above that which is expected within their role.

The Chief Scout’s Commendation for Good Service can be awarded whilst holding adult appointments for at least five years.

The Award for Merit can be awarded after a period of at least 12 years of outstanding service, and exceptionally, after ten years. It is for keen, conscientious, imaginative and dedicated service over a sustained period.

The Bar to the Award for Merit can be awarded after the Award for Merit for further outstanding service.

The Silver Acorn is awarded after at least 20 years of especially distinguished service.

The Bar to the Silver Acorn can be awarded after the Silver Acorn has been issued and is for services of further distinguished service.

The Silver Wolf, the unrestricted gift of the Chief Scout, can be awarded for service of an exceptional nature.
