Drop off the awards in wrapped packages on scout family doorstep. Then pull all the pack onto a zoom meeting and have each scout open his awards package one at a time. You then have a moment to say a good word about each one in front of his peers and parents. Do awards frequently - it is motivating for all. | Drop off the awards in wrapped packages on scout family doorstep.

"Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others."</font></b></blockquote> | "Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method.

* Ask parents to prepare their scouts a special meal beforehand and dessert for afterwards (Virtual Meal/Refreshments) | |||
* have the leaders divide up the families in the Pack and do a mashup of porch drop off, car parade, and ding dong ditch. | |||
* Do this for awards only and wait until the next inperson pack/troop/crew meeting for rank advancement. | |||
* Put a special note inside and then porch delivery. | |||
* Note: Most Council scout shops are closed - put you can try to order online at : [https://www.scoutshop.org/ ScoutShop.org] - ScoutShop is here to support virtual scouting! | |||
* Create little 'pillow boxes' out of empty TP rolls and then added a fun sticker, name tag, and ribbon (para cord also worked great!). | |||
* For those with certificates I used paper towel rolls and did the same thing just in a larger way. | |||
* Make sure to sanitize hands before preparing them, before picking them up and taking them to the door step, sprayed them down with lysol, rang the door bell and backed away, then sanitized my hands again before getting into my vehicle. | |||
* Tape awards / certificates to frisbee - (Get them cheap at the dollar store) | |||
* Order party favors from Oriental Trading thinking and drop off a "party in a bag" with favors and awards! | |||
* Do something similar with scout neckerchiefs or class B shirts ("I Survived Covid-19") | |||
