My husband and I, new leaders this year for Tigers, were asked to quickly pick a scout from our den to receive a campfire pin at the meeting that night. I'm not sure if this is a typical thing but each den picks one scout for overall participation and attitude. In a rush, we picked a great kid but there was really another who deserved it. We will be meeting in a few weeks to earn the horseback riding belt loop and we would really like to figure out a way to acknowledge the boy who really deserved it. He probably doesn't get lot of recogntion on a daily basis and we know it would mean a lot to him. We have never done just den awards so we aren't sure how to approach it, what to award him and what to call this award. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated!
