1. The Society's scroll is only awarded to a limited number of people and is given for outstanding services.  A detailed case should be made out to cover outstanding service and loyalty to the Society; maintenance of the aims of preserving the standards and traditions of Scottish Country Dancing; and encouragement in others of the knowledge and enjoyment of Scotland's heritage of dance and music.  Long service in the Society, while being taken into consideration, might not in itself merit the award.

2. Nominations for awards should reach the Secretary of the Society by the end of March for an award the following November. (Nominations are only considered once a year, and therefore late nominations cannot be considered.)

3. Nominations will only be considered if made by a Branch or any Standing Committee of the Society.

4. The Branch Chairman and Secretary, or two Committee members if from a Society Committee, should sign the form before sending it to the Secretary of the Society.

5. Where a joint nomination is requested, a separate form should be completed for each person.

6. Achievements such as establishment of branches in new areas, establishing new teaching schools, etc., should be listed on the reverse of the form.

7. Posthumous nominations will not be considered.

8. All nominations will be acknowledged by the Secretary.

9. All nominations will, in the first instance, be presented to the relevant Committee for consideration. The Committee's recommendations will then be presented to the Management Board for ratification.

10. The names of scroll recipients will be announced at the next ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Society, at which, whenever possible, the Scroll will be presented.
