We are pleased to announce Troop 730’s participation in the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD program as a Certifying Organization.

This new AWARD is a Presidential honor that recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President George W. Bush’s call to serve others through their current volunteer activities or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify eligible recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the AWARD to qualifying volunteers.

Eligible volunteer service hours are not limited to scout service projects. Service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of community projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new AWARD each year. Please see the table below for the different levels of award requirements.

For those interested in pursuing this Award, you must log your service hours online. All scout-related service hours will be entered by the troop, based on the official troop database. The applicant is responsible for entering non-scout-related service hours, as well as providing documentation for these hours to the troop for verification purposes.
