Youth Patriotism Awards
Citizenship Award

Purpose:

The Patriot Awards were designed to lead youth in the United States to a greater understanding of the amazing legacy we were given by our founding fathers. This legacy has afforded every person in the United States abounding freedoms that are often taken for granted.

The Citizenship award covers a knowledge of our government and its workings that every American should know. The United States expects immigrants that want to obtain citizenship to know and be able to put into practice many details the average American born in the country does not understand or appreciate. This award is to provide that additional appreciation.

The Citizenship SILVER (Youth 6-10) and GOLD (Youth 11-18) awards will lead you down a path of learning more about the rich heritage of the United States and give you ideas and activities to further learn more and have fun doing it.

Award:

Each award has age-appropriate requirements and a number of electives. These medals will signify your accomplishments and encouraging others to do the same.

All requirements can be done with a unit, class, group, family, or individually. An adult should help you as you complete the requirements (and they are also a great source of information).

Along with the medals, you can earn Elective Stars that can be added to the ribbon portion of the medal. Once a medal has been earned, additional Elective Stars can be earned at any time (as long as you are still in the age group) and then added to your ribbon. The more you do the more you learn, earn and have fun.

All requirements must be completed during the age group of the award. Activities performed prior to the age group of the medal cannot be counted for the award. Adult counselors may take disabilities or exceptional circumstances into account when certifying completion of the award.
