Scroll of Honour
The highest accolade is the award of the RSCDS Scroll of Honour. This is awarded each year to a few individuals who have made an exceptional contribution, generally to the RSCDS at large/worldwide as well as locally. Nominations for a Scroll can only come from Branches or RSCDS Management Committees, and forms must be submitted by 31st March each year.
A Chairman’s Panel then considers each nomination and approves it or not (i.e. nomination does not guarantee that it will be awarded). Successful nominees are then informed, as well as the nominating Branches, and the nominees are invited to receive their Scroll at the RSCDS's AGM in November (although often overseas nominees opt to receive their award locally).
