The Foothills Honor Roll (otherwise known as the Chicken Pin award) is our district's way of recognizing units that go above and beyond the national Quality Unit requirements.  By completing the Honor Roll requirements by the end of 2010, your unit leaders will be eligible to wear the coveted Chicken Pin, which is awarded each year at our Annual Awards Banquet.

Program Concept: We want every Scout, adult leader, and Scouting alum to have the chance to be part of our biggest milestone yet—our 1OOth Anniversary Celebration. We want to fire up the passion for Scouting while giving everyone an opportunity to make a difference—and earn recognition. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will do just that.
