Levels of Awards
Each year some of our District’s top Scouters are honored with special awards for their service to youth. These include:
|
- The Mission Peak District Certificate of Appreciation is presented as a thank you to Scouters who have given significant service to their Pack, Troop, Crew, Post, or District.
- A District Plaque is presented for outstanding service over an extended period to multiple units and/or Mission Peak District.
- The District Award of Merit is awarded by the Golden Gate Area Council to Scouters who have made an impact on the lives of youth through noteworthy service given at the District level. The service can be a single extraordinary act, several individual efforts, or results over an extended period. As a Council award, the number that can be presented is strictly limited.
If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to reach out to Bruce Schlobohm at

Mission Peak Reverence Walk gives us a unique opportunity to visit new and different houses of worship & gain a greater knowledge of other religions in our community. It is for all involved with the BSA-Scout Program-- Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Explorer, Sea Scouts, and Learning for Life Scouts, Scout Leaders, and Scout Families. This is the perfect opportunity to “compliment your unit’s commitment “To serve God” & “Duty to God”.
|
All the Scouts that come in their full uniforms will earn the Duty to God patch and the Scout family members who are not registered with scouting can wear Casual/ but decent clothes. No shorts or skirts. Bring your unit flag. Some of the worship places require a head covering. Please bring a scarf or handkerchief to cover the head. Bring plenty of water and snacks.
|
“Houses of Worship” places are not within hiking distance. You need a car to go around or arrange for carpooling. We will be having a “Very Special Lunch & Indian Tea” at Sikh Temple.
