It is important to have the awards lists at GHQ by the June 3 deadline or GHQ will not be able to list your division’s award recipients in the Awards Luncheon souvenir booklet.

 Presentation of Awards

 All awards will be recognized at the Awards Luncheon on Friday, July 18, 2014 or at the Saturday night banquet on July 19, 2014. Please pick up your awards after the luncheon as well as those of men in your camp to take them home with you. This simple process will also save the SCV hundreds of dollars of postage expense and enable the staff to process your dues and new memberships more quickly when they return to GHQ.
