Awards

There are two types of Awards given out by the region for outstanding contribution of adult leaders and volunteers. They are the annual Asia Pacific Leadership Awards which are divided into three categories and the Region Appreciation Award which is given out once every three years during the Regional Conference.

Through the Asia Pacific Leadership Awards, the Region hopes to provide incentive and motivation for adults who:

• are effective role models in their areas of service
• have given outstanding contributions in their areas of service
• have acquired a high level of self-development that has enabled them to provide quality Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting

The Asia Pacific Leadership Awards are offered annually in three categories:

• Asia Pacific Leadership Award for Troop/Unit Leaders
• Asia Pacific Leadership Award for Commissioners
• Asia Pacific Leadership Award for Service to Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting

Each Member Organisation is eligible to apply for 50 awards for Troop/Unit Leaders, 15 awards for Commissioners and 5 awards for Service to Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting every year. A certificate and pin will be presented to each awardee. The pin may be worn in and out of uniform subjected to uniform guidelines of the respective Member Organisations.
