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.
