Awarded annually to the department which has rendered the most outstanding support during the period August 1 – July 31 to the program of Boy Scouts of America. The award is based on the number of troops organized, strength of existing troops and general welfare of the Scout movement under Legion sponsorship within the department based on written reports with substantiating evidence submitted to National Headquarters.
Departments that want to be considered for the award are required to submit a report with a narrative description of their department's efforts and accomplishments. The design and length of the narrative is your decision; however, the selection committee wants to see something other than statistical information to consider when they determine the winner.
