 National Service
Award
The National Service Award was established in 1999 to recognize lodges in each
region that have performed outstanding service, both in a qualitative and a
quantitative sense, to their council. The National Service Award Petition is
submitted along with the lodge recharter application. To be considered for the
National Service Award, a lodge must be certified as a National Quality Lodge
the year in which the National Service Award Petition is submitted. Two lodges
per region will be granted National Service Award each year.
The National Service Award petition requires lodges to submit information on
current lodge membership (the size of a lodge is a factor when considering the
magnitude of the service it has provided), a detailed description of the largest
and most meaningful service project the lodge has completed for its council,
and a record of all service performed by the lodge for the council since the
last recharter process. Service for this award is defined as any project that
has directly benefited the Scouting program in the council. The petition form is available here.
