Many (if not all) of Scouting's adult volunteers are active with a Pack or Troop because: A, they have a boy involved and want to spend time with them. B, they were involved as a youth and want to give back. or C, they HAD a boy involved and stayed around because they love it so much! Many of us don't expect any recognition for our work unless it's a heartfelt "Thank You".
But...
You SHOULD be recognized for your dedication and effort to provide a FUN, SAFE, and MEMORABLE experience for the Scouts your lead. One way the BSA recognizes it's leaders is to award them with square knot patches that show the types of training taken or accomplishments via involvement in the program.
