 | | The Quartermaster Award, which stands for excellence, goes to the young adult who attains the highest rank in Sea Scouting. |
 | | The award is a reminder that as a ship needs a rudder, a compass, and a moving force to reach its destination, so an individual must be physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight to achieve worthwhile goals in life. |
 | | An application for the Quartermaster Award must also be approved by the ship committee and the district or council advancement committee. |
