The national Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Award is designed to recognize those individuals and corporations who have been instrumental in the development of Scouting for youth who often face challenging barriers.. This award recognizes "unsung heroes," those who do exceptional service for youth.

The mission of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Service Awards Reception is to secure community resources in support of the Scouting Program for at-risk youth and to provide experiences that develop self-esteem, character values, and living skills, thereby enhancing the lives of underrepresented and underserved young people in our community.

The 2026 Awards Ceremony will be co-chaired by Rick Anderson, SVP & Senior Production Officer at Georgia Power, and Jil Jordan Greene, Chief Human Resources Officer at Paradies Lagardère.

Proceeds from this event will go to support Scouting programs throughout the Metro-Atlanta area, providing experiences that develop self-esteem, character values, and living skills and enhance the lives of young people across our community.
