Silly volunteer awards

[TN_Hiker 10]

Hello from Tennessee! I was hoping someone could help me. I recall at one time seeing a listing of silly (and cheap) and funny awards to give to various volunteers. For example a square knot mounted on a plague for keeping us together or a key mounted for being a key in making "X" a success. Does anyone know where I can some ideas such as this? I have tried searching the web, but evidently can't seem to narrow down my search. Thanks in advance for your help. Yours in Scouting--TN_Hiker

I went to Google and did a search for +awards +kiss +"rubber band" and got quite a few hits with some different items and lots of different wording. Here's one site, but you might want to try the same search and look around a bit (there was one on scoutinglinks, too): http://www.usscouts.org/profbvr/fun_awards/

Why give awards to volunteers who are silly?

 

Oh, you mean silly awards for volunteers!

 

How about gluing a dime onto a safety pin to produce a neat award for a volunteer (drum roll please) a priceless dime and pin {diamond pin }.

 

I've seen references to these types of awards in Cub Scout literature more often than Boy Scout literature.

Here's one that we use at our district dinner every year. We get a small wooden base, easily made by anyone with a router, drill a hole through it, and screw an old automotive or lawn mower spark plug in the hole.

 

Yes .. a spark plug award ... for the volunteers who provided a 'spark' to the district this year.

"For a Job Well Done" make a trophy out of a piece of burnt toast. I made a base out of a piece of scrap wood with a wooden skewer drilled in it. Stick the tost on the skewer.
