John W. Jerome Lifetime Achievement Award

The Queens Federation of Churches recognizes men and women who have led children and youth through Scouting in their spiritual, social and physical development.

The John W. Jerome Lifetime Achievement Award, named in honor of the long-time Chair of the Federation’s Committee on Scouting and Youth Ministry, is given to a Boy Scout or Girl Scout Leader who, over many decades, has given devoted and effective service to the children and youth of the community through Scouting programs.

The Shepherd Emblem, Interfaith Leadership Award and the John W. Jerome Lifetime Achievement Award are each presented at the annual Scout Awards Recognition Dinner in November. Honorees since the inception of the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 are listed below.
