The Next Project recognizes the young people in our communities making a difference in the classroom, online and in their neighborhoods.

Recipients of the second-annual awards will be recognized in The Scout Daily Email, in social media and at a celebratory event this spring. Each student will also be partnered with a local leader to act as mentor and help foster their growing interests.

Eligible nominees should be between the ages of 7 and 18, reside in Southeast Missouri and are creating a positive impact on those around them.

If you choose to remain anonymous, please share contact information of how we can reach the potential recipient.
