About this Award

The GOLD MEDALLION AWARD PROGRAM is established to identify and recognize the outstanding Catholic Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, and Venturing Crew in each of the fifteen Episcopal Regions of the United States. It is also intended to promote the National Catholic Committee of Scouting initiative to increase Scouting units, youth members, and adult leaders. National Gold Medallion winners epitomize those units that excel at providing youth with quality programs including religious activities, religious emblems participation, outdoor activities, and special events that encompass the religious, vocational, and educational aspects of Scouting under Catholic auspices.

Recognitions include:

(1) an 11 x 17 inch certificate for each National Recipient,
(2) a 3 by 5 foot Gold Medallion unit flag for each National Recipient,
(3) a National Finalist Certificate for each (Arch)Diocesan Gold Medallion Regional Nominee.

Application Instructions:

Only units chartered by a Catholic organization (Parish, School, Knights of Columbus Council, Men's Club, etc.) are eligible. Submit to the Chair or Chaplain of their (Arch)Diocesan/Eparchy Catholic Committee on Scouting, who will select one Pack, Troop, and Crew for regional consideration. Winners will be sent by the (A)DCCS to their Region Chair who, with the Region Chaplain, will select one Pack, Troop and Crew to receive the National Gold Medallion Unit Flag and Certificate. All other nominees will receive Finalist Certificates.

BSA "Quality Unit" and NCCS "Catholic Quality Unit Award - Pope Paul VI" criteria are also recommended as guidelines.

Applications must be submitted by January 5 to the (A)DCCS, to forward to their Region Chair/Chaplain to be received by January 15th, so winners can be notified in January and appropriate awards can be presented at Scout Sunday observations or an appropriate religious ceremony.

If you have any questions, comments, or may need clarification about this recognition, please contact the NCCS at NCCS Office at (972) 580-2114 or NCCS@scouting.org.
