Now accepting applications for Josey Field
The annual Robert A. Josey Outstanding Boy Scout Award was established by Mr. Josey himself to recognize a Scout active in a Huntsville Scouts BSA troop who has shown outstanding leadership in school, in religious pursuits, in Scouting, and in his or her community. The award was first presented in 1934 and has been awarded almost every year since.
The Board of Trustees established the Robert A. Josey Outstanding Girl Scout Award in 2024, with the first award to be made in 2025. The award will be nearly identical to the Outstanding Boy Scout Award, with slight alterations to accommodate the program differences between Scouting America and Girl Scouts of the USA.
Candidates complete an online application and written essay, eligibility is verified by the candidate's unit leader, and finalists are interviewed by a panel of Josey Lodge Trustees.
The recipient receives a certificate and $500 monetary award, a custom Josey Lodge jacket, and his or her name engraved on a paver in the Josey Court of Honor in front of Josey Scout Lodge. The awards are presented every year at the Robert A. Josey Banquet.
