George
W. Meany Award
In recognition of their
contributions to America's future, the AFL-CIO Executive Council
established the George Meany Award. It recognizes union members—men and
women—who have made a significant contribution to the youth of their
communities by volunteering in the programs of the BSA. The award is named
for the AFL-CIO's first president, who gave strong support to Scouting
over the years.

A survey conducted by the Boy Scouts of America revealed that one of
every four unit leaders is a union member. This means that hundreds of
thousands of union members are actively serving the youth of their
community in such leadership roles as Cubmasters, den leaders,
Scoutmasters, Varsity Scout Coaches, Venturing Advisors, and committee
members.
Recognizing this, it is proper that the AFL-CIO offer a Wood Badge
scholarship to assist selected union members in acquiring skills that will
better equip them to serve the youth of their communities
