Silver St.
George
National Level Adult Recognition Award
At its 35th Biennial Conference for Catholic Scout leaders from
around the country, held in Columbus Ohio, April 21-25, 1998, the National
Catholic Committee on Scouting initiated a new award for dedicated members of
its national organization who have worked hard and diligently for many years at
the national level, and whose accomplishments in carrying out the youth-serving
mission of NCCS have been especially significant.
NCCS will limit the number of awards to six per year. The first presentation
included awards for 1997 and 1998.
The award includes a silver version of the St. George emblem, suspended on a
dark blue ribbon. A complete citation booklet and certificate to accompany the
medal will be prepared shortly.
