Three Walton Trail Scouters Presented with the Special Needs Scouting Service Award

Walton Trail was proud to present three of Walton Trails finest an award of incredible merit, The Special Needs Scouting Service Award.

At the Walton Trail May Roundtable Tracey Rodenbach, District Commissioner, presented Danny Ray, Lynn Ray, and Laurie Bowen with medals, knots and devices for their unmatched dedication to Scouts with special needs here in Walton Trail. 

We are proud to have such amazing, dedicated, and passionate leaders here in Walton Trail. Truly Good Scouts through and though!

This award was established to provide clear and visible recognition to adults, volunteer and professional, who serve the community of members with disabilities/special needs of the Scouting movement. This award is earned by direct action on behalf of members with disabilities/special needs and by spreading the ideals of inclusiveness, diversity, and disability awareness in Scouting. The award is intended to create enhanced visibility of the resources available to serve these members and to ensure their success in Scouting.

This award provides multiple venues for serving that community. It will create a pool of potential recipients for the council level Torch of Gold Award and the national level Woods Services Award by identifying individuals who have given exemplary service to the Scouting program for members with disabilities/special needs.
