Welcome
Rotary International is a national partner of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). The organization recognizes Scouting's crucial role in nurturing shared values among young people worldwide. Rotarians are known for their leadership, character, and selfless service. They often serve as mentors within Scouting units that Rotary Clubs charter or sponsor. Rotary Clubs work hand in hand with Scouting to mentor young people, foster future leaders, and promote Rotary's ideals through community service.

BSA and GSUSA Certificates
The International Fellowship of Scouting Rotarians (IFSR) has created full-color recognition certificates for the highest award in their association that Rotary Clubs can present. Presenting certificate(s) is a terrific way to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of local youth and introduce them to Rotary and its programs, potentially leading to their future involvement as Rotarians. Certificates are available for the Eagle Scout Award recipients, the Sea Scout Quartermaster Award for the BSA, and the Gold Award for the GSUSA. Order certificates here.
