Scouting’s National Hall of Leadership

Has Scouting made an impact on your life?

As part of the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, the BSA has created the "National Hall of Leadership". This recognition is designed to allow anyone to share stories about Scouts, Scout leaders, or other Scouting volunteers which demonstrate outstanding Scouting leadership through selfless and extraordinary acts of service.

Nominations for the Hall of Leadership can be made on-line at the BSA’s Hall of Leadership page. Each nomination should include a short story on how an individual has made or makes a significant difference in the lives of others by the extraordinary service they have given and the Scouting virtues they have modeled.

There is no age limit for the individuals who are nominated. Any individual who has been active in Scouting for at east one year is eligible to be nominated. Your story serves as a nomination for the Hall of Leadership Recognition and stories should be 450 words or less.

Up to 12 nominations from the Old Hickory Council will be considered for the National Hall of Leadership. Local judging will be conducted by a panel of community leaders representing a cross section of the council.

If you know someone who you believe has had an extraordinary impact on a Scout, a unit, a district, the council or their community be sure to take the time to nominate them for Scouting’s National Hall of Leadership. Nominations must be submitted by December 31, 2009.
