goertz1980 10 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I was wondering if anyone could fill in the blanks on the Extra Miler award. Specifically, how many are given out. Who can authorize the award, cubmaster or someone higher? Is there any written guidance on the award? If so, where can I look? Are there other awards available to adults? I'm a new Cubmaster, and I am big on recognizing as many as I can. Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 As far as I can tell this is not a BSA National award. It is a council/district specific award. Contact your local council for the specifics on this, and other local awards. As for adult awards, you can find many here - http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/CubScouts/%7E/link.aspx?_id=F199DDD4F2164BDBAC9BED67EECA7918&_z=z http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Awards_Central.aspx (This message has been edited by Scoutnut) Link to post Share on other sites
SeattlePioneer 144 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It's a district award for us. The district encourages each unit to give out at least one Extra Mile award, but in practice units can put in people for as many such awards as they wish. You could ask your Commissioner (if you have one) or your District Executive or Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner (if you attend Roundtable) about your district practices. Also, if you Google "Cub Scout Certificates" you can find websites that allow you to custom make your own certificates, which you might find appealing. Scout shops usually have certificates that can be customized easily. It's a very good practice to be generous in recognizing contributions to the program, in my experience. It's really on of the leadership methods of Scouting. Link to post Share on other sites
