Top Section Awards Registration 2024

Welcome to the official page of the Pacific Coast Council top section awards!

In Scouts Canada, each section (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Rovers) have a top section award that go along with them. Top section awards are made for youth in their final years of scouting to pursue as a project to connect with their community and gain scouting skills all at the same time. For the younger generations, these are known as the North Star Award and the Seasonee Award and for older sections they are known as the Chief Scouts Award (CSA), Queens Venturer Award (QVA), and Canadian Rover Scout Award (CRSA). This year Pacific Coast Council is pleased to announce that will will be holding two award ceremonies. One for our younger sections (Beavers and Cubs) and one for our older sections (Scouts, Venturers, and Rovers).

We are accepting applications for either ceremony at this time. If you are a scout leader who has been assisting youth in completing their top section awards, you may have remembered that the application form was a paper copy. PCC has now transitioned to digital registration forms. You can find more about this below.
