Subject: Special Awards

To all my electronic friends and Scouting brothers and sisters:

These are a collection of different awards for different occasions, different jobs or those special people. These are just a beginning for you to build on. As a scouter you will soon learn to adapt and to use the resources available to you. All I ask is that as you advance your own collection and add to your list that you don't forget me. This list was and continues to be made from the ideas and adaptations from folks just like yourselves. Send me your ideas so that I might add on to this growing list.

Remember these are A W A R D S. How you make the presentation is just as important as the award themselves. So ham it up!! Especially with some of the more humorous awards. Most require about 5 minutes of your time to make, most even less. If it costs you money then you flunk Scouting 101.

I hope you enjoy these and please don't hog them all for yourself.

Subject: Re: Request: Adult Award Ideas

In desperation, at our very first Blue & Gold Banquet, I raided the church kitchen for some latex gloves, blew them up, tied a knot, and awarded my impromptu volunteer dinner-table cleaners "helping hand" awards. Recently inspired by the list that was posted here, I came up with a few more of my own:

I Can award, for the Scout/Scouter with the I can do it attitude: a large can with a capital "I" drawn on

Tea-riffic Scout/Scouter: Lipton (only because they are individually wrapped) tea bag mounted on posterboard

For You There Is No Equal: a packet of Sweet-n- Low on posterboard

De-pen-dable Award: a ballpoint glued to posterboard You're Stu-pen-dous!: (same as above)

You're Matchless! : an empty book of matches on posterboard

You Hung In There: mounted on posterboard, a piece of the string and some of the little "clothespins" from a greeting card hanging kit; or just use a couple of regular clothespins

You're a Real Cut-up: two plastic knives, mounted criss-crossed on board

Our Troop Just "Wooden" Be the Same Without You: thin piece of wood (I used a shim) mounted on cardboard

There are no words to describe you: unsolved crossword puzzle grid (grid only, no clues)

You're A-maze-ing: page from a kid's puzzle book (a maze, of course) mounted

You're re-mark-able: magic marker mounted on board

You're De-light-ful: night-light bulb mounted on board

(Note, if some of these are from the other list, I apologize. I'm plagued with CRS lately).

Another idea for the Special Awards page (adltawds.html).

We have a Maytag award in our pack for the "Dependability Person". We've
gotten Maytag to pony up a t-shirt and cap for the award. (We were even
trying to arrange a date with the reciepient and "Mr. Lonely", or at
least get one of their life-size displays.)

Just another fun idea.
