Subject: Special Awards
To all my electronic friends and Scouting brothers and sisters:
These are a collection of different awards for different occasions, different
jobs or those special people. These are just a beginning for you to build on.
As a scouter you will soon learn to adapt and to use the resources available to
you. All I ask is that as you advance your own collection and add to your list
that you don't forget me. This list was and continues to be made from the
ideas and adaptations from folks just like yourselves. Send me your ideas so
that I might add on to this growing list.
Remember these are A W A R D S. How you make the presentation is just as
important as the award themselves. So ham it up!! Especially with some of the
more humorous awards. Most require about 5 minutes of your time to make, most
even less. If it costs you money then you flunk Scouting 101.
I hope you enjoy these and please don't hog them all for yourself.
