Celebrate Your Success!
You and your Scouter buddies worked hard over the last year to deliver a great program to your Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Explorers. We think you deserve a thank you, so we’re hosting the Sons of Liberty District Recognition Event & Annual Meeting on Monday, April 8, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Arlington, 819 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington, Mass.
What’s next? Two things:
1) Save the date. Online registration will be available soon to purchase tickets at a modest price to offset food costs.
2) Nominate your buddy for the recognition they deserve!
There are many categories of recognition, but we won’t know who deserves what award if you don’t tell us. Review the awards below and submit nominations by MARCH 1, 2024 by email to the district awards committee at SOLDistrictAwards@gmail.com.

Scouting Family Award
The Sons of Liberty Scouting Family Award is meant to recognize those families of Scouts and Scouters who go above and beyond the immediate call of their duties in service to youth. The award, uniquely, is to be given to a family, not an individual. The Scouting service of all members of a family, both youth and adult, is to be taken into consideration when determining which families should be honored. Email a letter to the district awards committee chair Joe Macone, SOLDistrictAwards@gmail.com, with details about the family's involvement and achievements in Scouting.
Outstanding Scouter Award
Nominate a Scouter who you believe is worthy of recognition for outstanding performance in their position. Email a letter to the district awards committee chair Joe Macone, SOLDistrictAwards@gmail.com, with details about the Scouter’s actions and achievements during the past Scouting year.
Veteran Service Awards
Submit an application to the Council office and then notify the District Chairman, Steve Sookikian, scouter248@gmail.com, and you will be acknowledged for your achievement during the event. Download the Veteran Service Award form:
