YOUNG PERSON ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
“The Achievement Awards are primarily about recognising those who put in the effort and do their best.”
Jack Petchey CBE
Young people nominated should be those who have gone above and beyond, or achieved perhaps where others thought they might fail. Winning an Achievement Award will mean different things for different people – it may represent a personal triumph against adversity, it may recognise a young person who has pushed themselves outside of their comfort zone, it may be the opportunity to recognise the outstanding efforts of a team player who always puts others first.
At the very heart of the Achievement Award is the fact that other young people are encouraged to nominate their peers, so recognising the hard work and efforts. Nominations are also accepted from leaders and parents. Nominations are then reviewed by each District's Jack Petchey Team, and winners are then selected and notified.
LEADER AWARDS
The Foundation realises that lots of the great work, projects and schemes that young people are able to access and participate in, would simply not be possible without the support of their adult volunteers. In recognising this, they created the Leader Award – a chance for young people themselves to recognise their volunteers and say thank you to the ones that inspire and support them, for their dedication and commitment, or particularly those who go 'the extra mile' to support young people.
To be eligible for an Award, the volunteer must mainly work with young people aged 11-25, i.e. in the Scout, Explorer or Network sections. Nominations are reviewed by the County Jack Petchey Coordinator and then sent to the Foundation for approval. Winners of the Leader Award will be honoured at a Jack Petchey Celebration Event with a certificate and medallion and can then apply to Jack Petchey for a grant of up to £1000 to be spent on furthering Scouting for the Young People they are involved with.
DATA COLLECTION & PROCESSING
The data collected on this form is solely used for the administration of the Jack Petchey scheme. Detils of those nominees that win an award will be sent to Jack Petchey for reporting purposes to ensure that South London Scouts are operating the scheme correctly, and to enable winners to be invited to relevant Celebration Events.
