Most unit leaders have fulfilled all seven of the requirements and never get the paperwork submitted. This video points out how to complete the requirements and get the paperwork submitted correctly. Follow ScouterStan as we explore all of the mysteries of the Unit Leader Award of Merit. It also has a really cool knot that uses devices (See Note).
