World Conservation Awards
The World Conservation Award is the only Scouting Award which may be
earned by every Scout in the world! Each country has a
unique set of requirements, based on its own conservation needs.
The Cub and Scout World Conservation Award patches are the same throughout the
globe.
Application forms for these Awards are available from Program Services
at the Council Service Center.
Once a Scout has completed the requirements for one of
these awards, the Application Form should be filled out by the Unit Leader/Unit
Advancement Coordinator and submitted to the Program Services Department.
A personalized letter of congratulations from the Council Scout
Executive, as well as the appropriate patch, will be sent to the person
indicated on the Application form.
This award is neither earned nor worn by adult Scouters.
