To make that occasional “thank you‟ even more special, submit an application for an adult award nomination for the delight in seeing devoted service and devotion to duty being properly recognized.
Please take a few minutes to see if there is someone from your Unit who should be nominated. Please encourage other adult leadership in your unit to nominate deserving scout leaders.
***** PLEASE GO TO THE ORION DISTRICT WEBSITE: *****
***** orion-bsa.org or https://awards.orion-bsa.org/ *****
***** and make a nomination for your outstanding leader(s). *****
— — — D E A D L I N E EXTENDED — — —
So please …
- Orion District has a lot of deserving AND OUTSTANDING adult leadership so it’s Important to submit a nomination. How else will the committee know?
- The Orion’s Belt District Adult award comes from your unit not the District. This award allows the District to bring distinction to an adult leader in your unit to be recognized outside of your unit by others in the district.
- If you have nominated someone in the past and they were not selected that year, please nominate them again (previous years nominations are not carried over).
- Nominee should not be aware of your nomination to avoid any disappointment.
Assistance, please contact Fran Zaccaria at franzaccaria@yahoo.com or (817) 948-1047

Any youth who needs conservation service hours, this is a great opportunity as there will be weed control, mowing, brush clean up, and more going on. Camp 10 has not been maintained since course approximately 2 years ago, so there is plenty to do. We are also asking any adult who can come help to attend. There is a lot of power tool work to complete.
Please let them know you are coming so they can ensure lunch is available for you. Please notify Brian Moon (BrianMoon.bsa@gmail.com).
