The 62nd Annual Mohegan District Awards Dinner is coming up on April 27th at the Groton Inn & Suites. We will be celebrating 100 years of Sea Scouting. Come spend an evening and recognize fellow scouters for their outstanding work and dedication to your unit, the Mohegan District, and the Sea Scouting program.

Every unit should submit a form to recognize one adult (or a family couple) who supports your unit with a Mohegan District Good Turn Award. A link to the recognition form can be found below:

Veteran Awards are given for each 5 years of registered scouting service to the BSA. (Youth time counts toward this award also, so do not forget to add those youth years when you are applying). A new form is required every time a new 5-year milestone is reached. This is a great way to recognize our leaders for their service over many years. The 5-year, 10-year, 15-year and 20-year awards are made by the local council and consist of a wallet sized card. 25-year and up awards are issued by National and consist of a certificate and a wallet card. These take longer to process, so submit your requests at least six weeks before the Awards Banquet to receive them in time. A link to this form can be found below:

Unit Leader Award of Merit.  This award is for leaders in a unit who have shown outstanding leadership leading to a Quality Program within the unit. The Committee Chair initiates this award and for Boy Scout troops and Venture Crews, it must also be endorsed by the SPL or the Crew Chief. A link to this form can be found below:

For The Mohegan District:

It is also the time to nominate people who contribute to the district for a Mohegan District Oscar or a District Award of Merit.

The Mohegan District Oscar is for those leaders who show leadership and volunteer activity beyond the unit. – that is at the District or Council levels. Volunteer leadership outside of scouting is also a factor in determining each year’s recipients. Our district typically awards 5-6 of these awards annually. A link to the nomination form for the Mohegan District Oscar can be found below:

The District Award of Merit is highest award that can be awarded by a district. Nominees should already have received the Mohegan District Oscar. Again, this recognizes service beyond the unit at the district or council levels. Volunteer leadership in the community outside of scouting is an important factor in this top district award. A link to the nomination form for the District Award of Merit can be found below:
