Awards and Recognition
Recognize a special Guider
by nominating her for an award!
The presentation of awards to Guiders is a vital
way of formally recognizing their contributions. Awards
are given to honour the recipient. Everyone is encouraged
to give them regularly to show how much our Guiders are
appreciated. Never wait until a job or term is finished
to offer recognition. Please be sure to show recognition
and thanks in many ways over and above these official awards.
Any Member may nominate a Member for an Award at any time.
Awards may be applied for at any time during the year and
can be presented at any appropriate event. It is not necessary
to wait to the end of a Guiding year or term to recognize
achievement.
More information can be found in the Awards Booklet.
