awards other than merit badges

[yarrow]

I have a very young scout. He JUST turned 11. He does not play sports and so his time and interest is in scouting. He has a number of merit badges and is advancing rapidly. I would like to find awards with work involved that would provide the brakes needed to allow him to mature and yet still feel rewarding.

You might want to look into the congressional service awards. there are three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold and two divisions, medals or certificates. there are four catigories he would need to work on including community service and physical improvement. The program is set up so that he needs a sponsor (like you) and he sets goals. Winners are recognized on a local, state and national level. I know ther are websites available...just do a search for it.
