Section Awards
As part of the inaugural SR-9 Conclave, four new awards were presented at the 2009 Conclave. The awards are the Conclave Attendance and Spirit Award, Lodge of the Year Award, and the Section Honor Lodge.
Conclave Attendance Award
The award is presented to the lodge that meets expected attendance quota and has the most attendance using the formula determined by the: Average distance traveled in miles X number of participants = Chartered membership where Average distance traveled in miles = distance from council office to camp. (Service lodge is exempt from winning this award)
2010 – Waguli Lodge
Conclave Spirit Award
This award combines “conclave spirit” with “conclave participation”… which reflects on the overall “spirit” of conclave... the “Spirit” of conclave IS participation! SO, with this award, we’d create criteria that combines the “whoop it up” with the “getting your lodge members to experience all of conclave”. This Award will be given to the lodge who best meets the criteria, as determined by the Section Chief.
2010 – Mowogo Lodge
“Lodge of the Year” Award
This award combines the criteria for
Section Honor Lodge, Conclave Attendance Award, and Conclave Spirit
Award… giving us a “Lodge of the Year”. The nice thing about this is
that the difference that separates one lodge from another can be
achieved at conclave… which offers significant incentive to our lodges
to maximize participation among their members. We really don’t need an
award that just duplicates Quality Lodge items... what we need is an
award that – among those lodges that are already Section Honor Lodge
status – creates incentive to get their members to conclave and
participate in conclave. The Award would be given by vote of the Section
Officers.
Section Honor Lodge
The Section Honor Award is based on several
criteria to include: Quality Lodge, National Participation, Regional
Participation, Conclave Participation, and Conclave Attendance.
2009: Alibamu

The Elgixin Award
