Francis X. Guardipee Grey Wolf Award
The Francis X. Guardipee Grey Wolf Award recognizes adults, American Indian or non-Indian, for distinguished service to American Indian youth. It honors Francis X. Guardipee, who was the first American Indian to become a ranger with the National Park Service. Guardipee was the first American Indian ranger at Glacier NP (1933-1947) and also founded a Boy Scout Troop in 1916 and worked with youth until his death in 1970.
Joseph T. Provost Youth Award - Silver Medallion
The Joseph T. Provost Youth Award Silver Medallion is presented nationally to one American Indian girl and boy each year. Youth of American Indian descent who have met the requirements for the American Indian Youth Award certificate and who attend the annual American Indian Girl Scouting/Boy Scouting Seminar are eligible for the Silver Medallion.
The competition occurs at the Seminar, which is held in a different location each year. Youth competing are asked by a panel of judges to demonstrate, describe, or explain requirements completed in earning the American Indian Youth Award certificate.
For more information on this year's seminar location, cost, and registration, call your local Girl Scout or Boy Scout Council.
