Robert Receives Varsity Denali

On Thursday, July 23, 2015, Robert Lowe was presented with the Varsity Denali Award from his Varsity Scout Leader, Rusty O'Brien.  He had actually earned the award back in July of last year, but the previous ward didn't get the award ordered in time to present it to him at the October Court of Honor.  Then the ward split, so this is the first Court of Honor since.

Robert is now the third scout in the State of Kentucky to receive the Varsity Denali Award.

The requirements for the Varsity Denali are:

1. Be a registered Varsity Scout team member.
2. Advance at least one rank in the Boy Scout program (or earn a Palm for those who are already Eagle Scouts).
3. Hold leadership positions in a Varsity Scout team for at least six months.
4. 1. While serving as team captain or program manager, act as primary leader on at least two activities. Program managers should choose activities in their the field of emphasis. Team captains may serve as primary leader any of the five fields of emphasis.
   2. While serving as program manager or team captain, demonstrate shared leadership skills in supporting roles in each of the three remaining fields of emphasis.
5. Demonstrate that you possess Scout Spirit by understanding and living by the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Tell how you have done your duty to God and how you have lived each of the twelve points of the Scout Law in your everyday life.
6. Complete a progress review by a review board that includes a district or council representative and is lead by the advancement program manager.
