🏕️ Scouting Awards
Annually, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States recognizes individuals who are Eagle Scouts, Girl Scout Gold Award recipients, Venture Summit Award recipients, or Sea Scout Quartermasters who have risen above their peers in exemplifying the qualities of that rank. Applications must be sent to post.6683.vfw@gmail.com.
🎖️ ROTC Awards
Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) prepares our young men and women for military service careers. As these individuals fulfill their obligations to the nation, many will serve in harm's way and become eligible for VFW membership. VFW ROTC awards give special recognition of outstanding achievement and exceptional leadership ability. These awards are available for both JROTC and ROTC programs. Recipients must be identified by the Senior ROTC Instructor at each school.
