- The Veteran award is an adult recognition. However, tenure earned as a youth may be included in the total number of years registered.
- After 5 years of registered service in the Boy Scouts of America, an adult may, upon application, receive the designation of "Veteran," provided the person agrees to live up to the Scouting obligations; to keep local Scouting authorities in the community in which residing informed as to availability for service; and further, to be as active in the promotion of the cause of Scouting as circumstances and conditions permit. Service in Scouting organizations other than the Boy Scouts of America does not count toward veteran recognition. An individual must currently be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America in order to receive an award.
- An adult designated veteran shall pay the regular registration fee if desiring to continue to retain active connection with the movement.
- Scouters desiring recognition as 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 25-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 55-, 60-, 65-, 70-, 75-, or 80-year veterans must have maintained an active registered relationship for the required number of years, paying that annual registration fee.
- The records of the nation office and local council shall determine eligibility. The periods of service claimed for veteran recognition need not be continuous.
- Please Return Veteran Applications to the District Training Chairman by the December Roundtable.
