The nominee must be a registered Scouter. The nominee must have rendered noteworthy service to youth in the district, as well as service outside of Scouting. The nature and value of the noteworthy service may consist of a single plan or decision that contributed vitally to the lives of large numbers of youth, or it may have been leadership given to a small group over an extended period of time. Consideration must be given to the nominee's position and the corresponding opportunity to render outstanding service beyond expectations of duty. Leadership of District events or service on the District Committee is also considered. The nominee's attitude towards and cooperation is taken into consideration. Nominations cannot be considered for posthumous awards.

Please note many volunteers in our District have this award but are not listed here because they received their award prior to the formation of the Dover Rockport District.
