ALL SCOUTERS - YEARS OF SERVICE AWARDS
Is your Beaver now a Scout? – a Venturer!? Does your partner fail to recognise you out of uniform? Does your newest best clothing have a red shirt?
If any – or all – of these is true, you need some BLING, and we have the thing – attractive scrolls, with official signatures; nifty lapel pins; even medals and ribbons to wear.
We have awards for Long Service – every five years. If you – or any Scouter around you – have been here for years, and never received one, please fill in the appropriate form, and send it to the Deputy Area Commissioner – Recognition (awards@victoriascouts.ca), and we will get the appropriate awards.
It doesn’t matter that you’ve been here for aeons, and never received anything – we can issue as many as are needed. Check out this reminder from our DAC Recognition for details!
