Location: Irving School (200 S. Pine St. Centralia, IL)

This year’s Volunteer Recognition Dinner is open to all adult Scouters and their spouses to celebrate the 2024 Scouting year, review our events and achievements, culminating in the prestigious District Award of Merit recognizing one exemplary District Scouter. The uniform for this celebration is the “Class A” official Scout Field Uniform.

If you have someone you want to recognize for their efforts in supporting your Cub Pack, please email Jordan Rud (jordan.rud@scouting.org) who and why you feel they should be recognized.  And the same goes for Scouts BSA, and Venturing as well.  If you have a volunteer you want to recognize as having gone above and beyond your typical unit level position and helped out with an event, or camp, or anything else, please email in their name and why for the Spark Plug award.  If you have someone you would like to nominate for the District Award of Merit, please either fill out the form attached, or fill out the following google form.  District Award of Merit Online Form

This year, each unit will have a table specific for that unit.  The goal is to try to get as many from your unit as you can to come and fill your table.
