Camp Awards

Unit Awards

It wouldn’t be Boy Scout camp without recognition for troops showing scout spirit.  We have several including the Clean Sweep Award, the Top-Notch Troop Award, and the Honor Unit.

Honor Unit

Mt. Norris honor units are units who fully participate in the camp program throughout the week.  They keep their sites clean and scout-like, carry out a service project, and attend all religious services and campfires.  

Top-Notch Troop Award

This award is given out to the most awe-inspiring and totally motivated troop in camp during the week.  To qualify, the unit must first be an honor unit.  Inspection, camp participation, and other competitions will all be taken into consideration.  A troop can gain bonus points for polar bear swims, a troop outpost, challenging other troops or staff to competitions, hosting a fellowship, leading songs and cheers in camp, and other acts showing true scouting spirit.

Clean Sweep Award

The Clean Sweep Award is presented to a unit with the cleanest and safest site of the week, as commissioned by the Camp Commissioner.

Other Award Possibilities

Troops and patrols have the opportunity to earn other awards while in camp.  They include, but are not limited to: Scavenger Hunt, Friday afternoon competitions, Program Area awards, “I climbed Mount Norris” Pin, and Polar Bear Club certificates.
