District Award of Merit

Southwest Texas Council

(Formerly Concho Valley Council)

The District Award of Merit has been presented in the various Districts of the council since 1973.  It is the highest award that can be presented by a district to those Scouters who render service of an outstanding nature at the district level.  A district is allowed to present these awards annually on the basis of one for each twenty-five units or fraction thereof.  The award is normally presented at the district recognition meeting or banquet. Here are the awards that were presented to volunteers in the Concho Valley Council, now the Southwest Texas Council.
