New Award Option | Elbert K. Fretwell Outstanding Educator Award
The Elbert K. Fretwell Outstanding Educator Award is presented to those who improve students’ lives by proactively modeling and teaching Scouting values. The award may be presented to teachers, educational support staff, and school administrators who stand out from their professional peers in instilling Scouting Values for students.
For Elbert K. Fretwell Outstanding Educator Award nominations, complete the form inside the (Implementation Guidebook) and use methods 2, 3, or 4 from above.
You’ll see that there are many awards for which adults may be nominated. There are even categories such as the “Unsung Hero,” “Spark Plug,” and “Scouting Family” awards that each unit can recommend one or more individuals to receive. Instructions on how to submit nominations are located on the forms.
I ask that you please consider using this recognition method to thank those in your units or serving our District who are making a difference in the lives of our youth either through direct or indirect support. Please pass this message on throughout your units and provide at least one nomination (or more!) for adults in your unit by the March 15th deadline. It only takes a few minutes to nominate a great volunteer, but the thanks provided lasts a lifetime.
