This year, the awardees for the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Award (National level Award) are:

• Annette Ikard
• Joyce Abrams Lane
• Renan Scott
• Darryl Hinson
• Tony White

Awardees for the Community Service Award include:

• Ernest Smith
• L.C. Smith
• Teresa Batts
• L.R. Spearman

Tickets are available at the Scout Office for $25/person.  Please try to get them by Tuesday, 12 April, so we can get final headcount for meals.

You may submit a deserving adult or organization by filling out this application and submitting it to the council service center.

Thanks.
