There are many forms available in Scouting. Nomination forms for the many different awards are available on the National BSA Website. District-specific forms are generally found on each of the district’s own web pages.

Unit Leader Award of Merit

District Award of Merit

The highest award that is given to a Scouter at the District level. The District Award of Merit is awarded by a District to volunteer and professional adults for service to youth in the District. A person may receive the District Award of Merit more than once from different districts but there are no provisions for wearing more than one.
