Prairielands Council, Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America Prairielands Council) serves nearly 3,000 young people and their families in the nine counties of Champaign, Douglas, Edgar, Ford, Iroquois, Piatt and Vermilion in east central Illinois and Fountain and Vermillion in western Indiana. Prairielands Council is a not-for-profit 501c3 corporation in the state of Illinois, chartered by the Scouting America to deliver the Scouting programs.
McKenzie Wagner worked with the Prairielands Council in 2015 to create the Distinguished Citizen Award to honor impactful community leaders. The recipients are community leaders who, through their personal and professional lives, have exhibited the attributes of Scouting including good character, leadership, active citizenship and service to others.
The Distinguished Citizen Award not only recognizes an outstanding community leader but also offers to young people an example of how one person or family can impact our entire community.
MW helps with everything. From event branding, marketing, and advertising to on-site signage and digital presentations to creating the actual award itself — we work closely with the event committee to help coordinate and plan logistics, ensuring the event goes off without a hitch.
