What is Scouting?
Scouting offers boys an environment that is both challenging and adventurous, offers leadership and maturity. The goal of Scouting is to help boys develop into honorable men through the values of character development, citizenship, and mental and physical fitness. Scouting is a values-based program with its own code of conduct as stated by the Cub Scout Promise and the Boy Scout Oath & Law. This program prepares young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them Scouting's values. What other program can provide boys a chance to go camping, experience hands on leadership, explore and learn about the outdoors, how to save a life, and discover new areas of our world. That is just a few benefits of what Scouting has to offer.

GREAT and SPECIAL AWARDS
Attached below (.PDF) are a collection of different awards for different occasions, different jobs or those special people.
These are just a beginning for you to build on. As a scouter you will soon learn to adapt and to use the resources available to you.
This list was and continues to be made from the ideas and adaptations from folks just like yourselves.
Remember these are A W A R D S.
How you make the presentation is just as important as the award themselves. So ham it up!!
Especially with some of the more humorous awards. Most require about 5 minutes of your time to make, most even less.
If it costs you money then you flunk Scouting 101.
I hope you enjoy these and please don't hog them all for yourself.
