While all nominations are accepted for Scouts who meet the criteria, being under the age of 18 at the time of selection, it is highly discouraged for parents to nominate thair child for this award. Nominations are often times best received, and complete a clearer picture, if the nominator is an individual who has worked with the applicant on numerous occasions in Scouting. These people often times know the young person's true charachter when no one is watching.
