Major Awards
Scouts Canada has several major awards:
- The Chief Scout's Award was established in 1973 as the top award in the Scout section.
- The Queen's Venturer Award is the top award in the Venturer section. In 1968, the normal upper age for members of the Scout section was reduced from 17 to 14 and the Venturer section was created for ages 14–17. As part of these changes, Queen's Scout rank was replaced with the Queen's Venturer Award.
- The Amory Adventure Award is awarded to the Venturer company that exhibits the most initiative in conceiving, planning, and executing an outdoor adventure.
- The Medal of the Maple was created in 2007 and is awarded for distinguished youth service and excellence within the Scouting Movement.
