Vale La Pena Knot

Asian American Spirit of Scouting Knot

Two new BSA awards honor volunteers and organizations



The BSA Scoutreach Division has introduced two new recognitions to honor volunteers or organizations for service that directly benefits Hispanic-American/Latino and Asian-American young people.

The ¡Scouting...Vale la Pena! and the Asian American Spirit of Scouting Service Awards are modeled after the Whitney M. Young Jr. Service Award and share similar council procedures and criteria.

Nominees are chosen for outstanding services and demonstrated involvement in developing and implementing Scouting opportunities for Hispanic-American/Latino or Asian-American youth.



Recipients are nominated by local councils and approved nationally. Nomination forms (Nos. 11-193 and 11-194) are available from local councils.

The forms provide helpful information on the purpose of the awards, complete council procedures, criteria, and forms for ordering awards and optional recognition pieces.

Persons at all levels of Scouting involvement, from executive board to district Scouters to unit personnel, are eligible.
