Description
The William D. Boyce New-Unit Organizer
Award is presented to recognize volunteers who organize one or more
traditional Scouting units. The award may be worn on the adult uniform.
The award is a Commissioner's gray square knot placed over the three colors representing the
three phases of our program—Cub Scouting (Gold), Boy Scouting (Red), and Venturing Green). A
volunteer can earn the knot by organizing one traditional unit, and a
program device can be earned for up to three additional units organized.
The award recognizes volunteers for organizing traditional units after
March 1, 2005.
The award is administered by the
Relationships Division and will be presented by the local council.
Requirements:
- With the approval of the district
committee chair, the volunteer serves as the organizer and completes
the successful organization of one new traditional unit (Cub Scout
pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity team or Venturing crew).
- The volunteer organizes the unit by
following all procedures as published in the “New Unit Organization
Process” (No. 34196), particularly ensuring that new unit leadership
is trained, a program for the new unit is organized and in operation,
the new unit committee is functioning, a unit commissioner is
assigned, all paperwork for the new unit is completed and processed,
and the unit charter is presented to the chartered organization.
- The Boy Scouts of America realizes
that quite often several individuals help to organize a new unit.
However, for this award, only one volunteer can be recognized as the
organizer for a new unit.
- To further recognize the volunteer’s
effort for organizing additional new units, a program device can be
earned and worn on the new-unit organizer knot. The program device
represents the type of unit organized (a Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout
troop, Varsity team, or Venturing crew.) The knot and up to three
program devices may be worn in recognition for organizing up to four
new traditional units. Multiple program devices for organizing units
in the same program may be earned and worn.
- The new-unit organization award
recognizes volunteers for organizing traditional units after March 1,
2005.
