It's About Recognizing Those Who Strive to Make a Lasting Impact.
The Citizens of Character Awards honor individuals and organizations who embody the core values of Scouting—integrity, leadership, and service. These honorees reflect the Scout Oath and Law in their everyday lives, making a meaningful difference in their communities and inspiring others to do the same. Through their actions, they showcase the enduring impact of Scouting’s mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lifetimes.
