GEORGE MEANY AWARD
The George Meany Award is a national recognition
approved by the AFL-CIO Executive Council. It may be presented to any
adult union member who has made a significant contribution to the youth of
their community through Scouting.
Each AFL-CIO city central labor council and each AFL-CIO state federation is permitted to give one award annually. The emphasis of this award is on the the importance of being selective. There is no rule that the quota must be used every year. No honorary recognitions should be made.
The purpose of the award is to recognize the recipient's outstanding service to youth through the programs of the Boy Scouts of America.
About 100 of these awards have been presented each year.
Applications may be obtained from the AFL-CIO central labor council, state federation, or the local area's AFL-CIO Community Services liaison or from
Labor Relationships, S226Boy Scouts of America
1325 West Walnut Hill Lane
P.O. Box 152079
Irving, Texas 75015-2079
The central labor council or state federation may develop its own standards for judging, but will consider such factors as the nominee's record in:
- Promoting and expanding the use of the American Labor merit badge
- Recruiting youth to earn the American Labor merit badge
- Forming Scout units, especially those to be operated by local unions or other labor groups
- Recruiting union members to become Scout leaders, especially to become American Labor merit badge counselors and to be involved in units operated by union organizations.
- Contributing to Scouting in the field of labor relationships, and bringing the Scouting and labor movements together to serve the community
- Taking Scouter training and setting a good example to youth
- Promoting Scouting for all youth, regardless of race, creed, or handicapping condition.
Awardees receive a medal suspended from the neck, a
cloth pocket insignia, a square note and a frame certificate. Distribution
is restricted and orders may only be made via Labor Relations, BSA.
Candidates for this award must be nominated.
The
ScoutingBSA.org web site is a
legacy site of the Viking Council BSA, now Northern Star Council.
This site was the original council site and was active from 1996 to
2002 and run by volunteers. As the web became more important to
Scouting, the council took over with paid staff. This site is no
longer maintained but is an interesting snapshot of an early Scouting
web site. You can share your comments
