Selecting an Award:

When choosing an award for a nominee, consider the following:

• Review all requirements of the award to avoid processing delays.
• Confirm if the nominee has any award prerequisites through your Unit Administrator. Example: If you are nominating a member for the Beaver award, the nominee must have received the Medal of Merit award.
• The person responsible for approving an award cannot also be the nominator
• A member may only receive one award per year for similar activities. Example: If a member receives the Bronze Unit Guider award, she will not be considered for the Silver or Gold Unit Guider award until at least the following year.
