Support for the Boy Scout movement came at The American Legion's first National Convention in 1919. Today, there are more than 2,500 Boy Scout units sponsored by Legion Posts throughout the country. 

Supporting Boy Scout activities is natural for Legionnaires, who bring their service-learned skills and experiences as veterans to bear to help build character and positive traits in "Young America." Few other Post activities generate more goodwill from the community. 

Morris-Little Post 6 proudly supports Troop 87 in the Oconee District, Central Georgia Council, and Boy Scouts of America.

The American Legion School Awards Program requires an individual to possess the following: 

C o u r a g e

Bravery in the face of opposition and danger; determination and force to do right without public applause and 

regardless of personal advantage. a quality of the intellect.

H o n o r

Highly-developed moral character; moral excellence; strength and stability of character; high standards of conduct;

devotion to duty; adherence to truth; keen sense of what is right; practice of clean speech and thoughts.

L e a d e r s h i p

Ability to lead and to accomplish through group action; ability to work in harmony and in unison with other leaders in 

Accomplishing group results; desire and ability to fill the voids in the lives of others caused by timidity, illness and other handicaps.

P at r i o t i s m

An ideal of loyal Americanism, religious tolerance, righteous freedom and the willingness to defend our

Flag against all enemies – foreign and domestic. Perhaps best defined in the American’s Creed.

S c h o l a r s h i p

Attainments in school studies, quality of school work reflecting the fine traits of industry; perseverance efficiency 

and intelligence.

S e r v i c e

Kindliness; unselfishness; fellowship; protection of the weak; promotion of the interests and the welfare of associates, 

and constructive aid for the up-building of schools and of community.

First, the Post Commander will appoint a committee of not more than three members to contact local school 

authorities. Through them a basis of friendly cooperation, on the part of the faculty and students, should be 

established. When this has been done, it will be possible to design and activate a smooth, coordinated

program. Such a program would almost of necessity include the following:

A series of talks to the students, and faculty, on the six traits which are the basis of the program. These talks should be delivered by Legionnaires, tuned to the students’ level of understanding, of good grammatical structure, and short. The customary weekly assembly period would be an excellent opportunity for such presentations.

Arrangements on how the recipients are to be selected should be made well in advance of the elections. 

Members of the graduating class and the faculty are to cast secret ballots to determine the boy awardee and 

the girl awardee. Traits underlying the selection of the boy and the girl will be Courage, Honor, Leadership, 

Patriotism, Scholarship and Service. Make sure that the voters understand the meaning of the qualities and their weights in the selection. The Post Committee, upon the recommendation of faculty members and school 

administration should make the final selection.

Students, patrons and the entire community should know and understand the entire program. Suitable publicity should be arranged to handle this. The sole purpose of the undertaking by The American Legion is the cultivation of high character and wholesome ideals in youth approaching active citizenship. No trace of politics, sectarianism or favoritism should be allowed to attach itself to the School Award Program.

At the medal presentation ceremony, it is only fitting and proper that the local American Legion Post take the major role. A member of The American Legion should present the awards.
