Gary Troyer Award

Scouting produces many great leaders and heroes. We lost one of those leaders a couple years ago from our community right here in the Tri-Cities. Gary Troyer was a big part of the Scouting community as well as many other volunteer organizations. We created an award for someone who exemplifies the Scout Oath and Law in Scouting as well as in the community and everyday life. This person goes above and beyond their volunteer title in all areas and have had a positive impact on Scouts, Scouters, and the public. They have made a large, positive, difference in the district over many years, just like Gary. This award is called the Troyer Scouting Award.
