· Consideration must be given to the nominee’s Scouting position and the corresponding opportunity to render outstanding service beyond the expectations of that Scouting position.

Note: Trailblazer District awards do not follow a progressive recognition system (e.g. a nominee for the District Award of Merit need not have been previously awarded any other District award).
