The
District Award of Merit is awarded by the District
to volunteer and
professional adults
for service to youth in the District.
Normally, the award is presented
for service to youth in excess of five years.
A person may receive
more than one District Award of Merit,
although there are no provisions
for the wearing of a device or emblem officially to denote the second or
subsequent awards. Unofficially, those Award holders that have received
more than one may
wear a small Universal device centered on the knot.
To nominate someone for this award,
simply download the following form:

Award of Merit Form
The BSA keeps no records of volunteers or professionals earning the Award of Merit in more than two separate Districts or Divisions.
Not more than one award shall be presented
each year for every 25 units or fraction therein
that a District has.
So if a District has 56 units, 3 awards may be given.
Professional
members of the Boy Scouts of America may receive this award upon concurrence of the Council Scout Executive and the Director of Operations at the National
office, BSA.
This award is
presented annually at the
District Dinner
