Criteria:  Each Commissioner may nominate a maximum of one person for recognition.  The nomination should be made on the basis of service by any registered individual regardless of the person’s position or tenure.  This award should not be considered in the same structured manner as other district, council or national awards.  Nominations should be made on the basis of (1) excellence of duty, (2) action during a crucial period, or (3) sustained performance to the unit/district. In addition to adult Scout leaders, commissioners may want to consider charter organization leaders who have provided sustained support to a unit or the district.

Format: The submission should contain the individual’s full name to be used on the award, position, unit/number, a short one or two paragraph narrative description of the basis on which the nomination is being made, the name of the person making the nomination and the date of the nomination.

Period of Performance:  Nominations should be made on the basis of actions performed since the nominee became a member of Powhatan District, and normally within the past year.  If the nominee is a prior recipient of the award, then the basis may only include those actions performed since that time.  

Submission and Evaluation:  All nominations must be submitted no later then March 31, 2019.

Notification:  The person who nominated a successful nominee will be notified of the results and will normally be responsible for devising a way to get the nominee to the Dinner.  If at all possible, the person to receive the award should not be told in advance.
