"Noteworthy service" may consist of a single carried out plan, or decisions over time that have contributed vitally to the lives of large numbers of youth in Kaw District. Consideration will be given to the nominee's Scouting position and corresponding opportunity to render outstanding service beyond the expectations of that position. The nominee's attitude toward, cooperation with, and participation in Kaw District and Heart of America Council will also be taken into consideration.
