Welcome to the Awards Section of the Derbyshire Scout Association Web Site.
It is here to help you with information and to support the process.

This part of the website is controlled by the Awards Coordinator, whose role it is to help the District Commissioner in your area, and the County Commissioner for Derbyshire, to complete successful applications for Derbyshire Scouting personnel who may be eligible for a Scout Association Award.

All members of the Association whether uniformed or not, may be eligible for an award at sometime. However there are a set of strict Rules which must be followed.

The Scout Association works with a set of rules called "Policy, Organisation & Rules". This information can be found via three routes:

1. The Scout Association POR website should always be the latest version
2. All District Commissioner's will have a current copy of the Policy, Organisation & Rules.
3. Your Group Scout Leader may have a copy of the Rules.

No Award can be sent to Headquarters without the County Commissioner's approval. Prior to this though, District Commissioners will need to be consulted as their approval will also be required. County Staff and County Team Members should speak to the County Commissioner or the Awards Coordinator in the first instance.

A document for District Commissioners to record the supporting information, can be downloaded here.

It is not the role of the Awards Coordinator to be judgemental in the applicants nomination - the coordinators role is to help the District Commissioners and County Commissioner (where required / requested) to complete the form correctly, and forward it to the Headquarters Award Board - once the CC has signed the nomination form.

The County Commissioners role is only advisory in nature, since the Associations awards are administered nationally.
