It’s so important that we thank and recognise our fellow Scouts for their incredible service. These are the shining lights who make Scouts possible.
Most of us in Scouts look for, and expect, no reward. But a timely word of thanks is always appreciated and can work wonders. – Bear Grylls
Celebrating someone’s hard work is always important, and can motivate them even more. If you want to nominate someone for an award, take a look through the ones that we offer. Or, if you just want a way to say thank you, take a look at some thank you ideas.
