National Service Award
Developed by past National Vice Chief Ryan Miske, the National Service Award was established in 1998 and first awarded in 1999 to recognize lodges in each region that have performed outstanding service, both in a qualitative and a quantitative sense, to their council. The National Service Award Petition is submitted along with the lodge recharter application. To be considered for the National Service Award, a lodge must have achieved at least the bronze level of Journey to Excellence performance the year in which the National Service Award Petition is submitted. Two lodges per region are granted the National Service Award each year.
The National Service Award petition requires lodges to submit information on current lodge membership (the size of a lodge is a factor when considering the magnitude of the service it has provided), a detailed description of the largest and most meaningful service project the lodge has completed for its council, and a record of all service performed by the lodge for the council since the last recharter process. Service for this award is defined as any project that has directly benefited the Scouting program in the council.
