Honor Our Scouting Volunteers

Scouting would not exist without the time and talents of our registered adult volunteers. The Armadillo District has three types of awards to recognize these volunteers. We need you to nominate the Scouters who help make the Scouting program a success! Read the requirements for each award and see past recipients at the links below.

These awards were presented at the Armadillo District Awards Banquet on Feb. 20, 2026 at the Fickett Center. Check out the winners through the links below!
