ARAs are awarded to active Adult Leaders, Rover Scouts and other adult members and supporters who have given valuable service to Scouts Australia over an extended period. Such awards are granted for sustained commitment to the Association, both within and beyond the designated roles and responsibilities for these members.
These awards recognise our volunteers for going above and beyond the call of duty. Anyone can submit a nomination and any adult member can be nominated, including Leaders, Supporters, Rovers and employees.
