.jpg) Description:The William
D. Boyce New Unit Organizer Award is to recognize volunteers who
organize one or more traditional Scouting units.
The award is a square knot to be worn on the uniform above the left
pocket. The award has three colors, representing the three phases of
our program Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing.
The knot is earned by organizing one traditional unit. A program
device is earned for each additional unit organized, allowing the award
to recognize a volunteer for organizing up to four new units.
The award recognizes volunteers for organizing traditional units
after, but not before, March 1, 2005.
Requirements:
-
With the approval of the district committee chair, serve as the
organizer and complete the successful organization of one new
traditional unit (Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout
team, or Venturing crew).
-
Organize the unit by following all procedures as published in the
New-Unit Organization Process, No. 34196, particularly ensuring
that new unit leadership is trained, program for the new unit is
organized and has begun, the new unit committee is functioning, a
unit commissioner is assigned, all paperwork for the new unit is
completed and processed, and the unit charter is presented to the
chartered organization.
-
Sometimes several individuals help to organize a new unit. However,
for this award, only one volunteer can be recognized as the
organizer for each new unit.
-
A program device can be earned and worn on the new-unit organizer
knot for each additional new traditional unit organized. The
program device would represent the type of unit organized (a Cub
Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team, or Venturing
crew). The knot and up to three program devices may be worn,
representing recognition for organizing the total of four new
traditional units. Multiple program devices from the same program
may by earned and worn.
-
The new-unit organization award recognizes volunteers for organizing
traditional units after, and not before, March 1, 2005.
