As a movement whose leadership is overwhelmingly volunteer, the Boy
Scouts of America recognizes the need to acknowledge the invaluable
services that men and women render to youth. The District Award
of Merit is awarded by a District to volunteer and professional
adults for service to youth in the District.
This recognition is granted by one's own peers in Scouting for
distinguished service to youth
