ADULT AWARDS Steve Polchek

Adult Awards Why??? Because – sometimes doubling your scout volunteer’s pay just isn’t enough

ADULT AWARDS Scouter awards can be used to honor Adult Leaders. Most Scouter awards are knots - representative of pin-on medals, around-the-neck awards, or award certificates - designed for the convenience of the wearer. The knots are worn centered on the left side of the uniform, in rows of three with the bottom edge of the knot(s) touching the top edge of the pocket flap. There are some non-knot awards, such as the Amateur Radio Operator Rating Strip, the Arrowhead Honor, the Outdoor Ethics awards, etc.
