Frank L Weil Memorial Unit Recognition Award
The award is named in memory of Frank L. Weil, one of the founders of the
NJCS and its chairman from 1935-57.
Of prime importance to the National Jewish Committee on Scouting (NJCS) is
its concern for quality Scouting under Jewish auspices.
The purpose of this program is to recognize the chartered organization to
help motivate and improve the effectiveness of the individual unit and its
adult leadership, and to provide each youth with a top-quality program.
The award, available through the NJCS, consists of:
- A certificate for the chartered organization
- A colored ribbon for the unit
- A multicolored, embroidered patch for each registered
member (youth and adult)
Implementing the Program
The National Jewish Committee on Scouting administers the program through
the representative to each of the regions. Each unit may earn this recognition
on its own merit for a particular calendar year, and may earn it for succeeding
years, providing the yearly requirements are met. Units should aim to achieve
all seven objectives; six (the five starred items plus one other item) must
be met to qualify for the award.
Eligible units should submit certification at rechartering time directly
to the National Jewish Committee on Scouting, 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane,
P.O. Box 152079, Irving, TX 75015-2079. An appropriate ceremony will be
arranged for presentation of this recognition.
