The Stan Bales Rover Service Award is an award that may be made by the Rover Section to recognise a person who has given exceptional service to the Rover Section.
The award will normally be presented as a part of the Branch Rover Council Annual General Meeting. The person nominated for the Award does not need to be a member of the Rover section. They do not even need to be a member of the Scout Association. The only important thing is that they have given a great service to the Rover Section. This service may have been at a Crew, Regional or Branch level.
The nomination for a Stan Bales Award is made in secret. Recipients of the award only find out if and when they receive it.
