ODAWA AREA YOUTH THANK YOU:

What is the Odawa Area Thank You?

Saying “Thank You” can be easy… sometimes. It takes work. And sometimes, you want to say “Thank You” AND let everyone else know what inspired you to say it. For youth in Odawa, there’s now the Odawa Area Thank You.

Read on to find out how you can say “Thank You” to a youth and tell the Scouting world.

When to say Thank You:

When someone has done something meaningful for you or someone else, and

• it left an impact on you
• it helped you or someone else out A LOT
• you want all scouters to see the example that this youth has set
• the youth put a lot of effort into helping out and his or her effort deserves recognition
• great as the adventure was, without the youth helping at that moment, it would not have been as great or as fun

Three levels of badge are available: Bronze, Silver and Gold. The level of award relates to the level of leadership provided in organizing and executing an event or Scouting Program. Youth can receive each level of the award multiple times.
