Courts of Honor

Points to Consider

1. Conduct courts of honor frequently-once every 2 to 3 months. Do not make a Scout wait 4 months to receive his award.
2. Planning is the key to successful courts of honor. Write out your plan, then rehearse key members' parts.
3. Refer to and use the checklist provided in the appendix of this section.
4. Be prepared - have an agenda or program for the boys and the adults who will be making the award presentations. Rehearse as needed, in the actual setting. If scripts are required, make sure they are given out well in advance of the court.

Sample Agenda

The agenda provided here should be used as a guide. Variety is one key to success for courts of honor. Develop your own ideas and don't forget to get the boys' opinions as well as consulting parents.
