Phil R. Phillips Award
The Phil R. Phillips award, named after the longest-serving Cherokee Area Council president and an outstanding supporter of the Council and Scouting. This award was established to recognize those Scouters with a long-term, outstanding commitment and an extraordinary level of service to the council who may have already been recognized in other ways, but whom the council desires to honor in a special manner. It is unique to the Cherokee Area Council and the council president, in consultation with other council members, decides upon deserving recipients.
