Kako'o Ka Hana Aloha Award                                     

"A Call to Service"

In celebrating this centennial year and redoubling its efforts to build on Scouting’s legacy of leadership and service, the Aloha Council has issued a Call to Service–in Hawaiian, Kāko'o Ka Hana Aloha– to all of its Scouting units. All scouting units have been asked to consult with community leaders, schools, service organizations, churches, etc… to find meaningful and lasting community service projects in which they work as a team, make a positive impact, and bring to life the concept of service above self. Projects will include collaborations with conservation organizations, community beautification initiatives and assistance to charitable organizations in accomplishing their mission. Each participating scouting unit will be presented with a once-in-a-lifetime recognition, the Kāko'o Ka Hana Aloha Award. The Kāko'o Ka Hana Aloha initiative runs from February – kicked off at the Aloha Council’s Centennial Recognition Dinner – through the fall, when the Aloha Council presents a report to the Governor and County Mayors on the Scouts’ service accomplishments. All Scouts are encouraged to do a “good turn” by perpetuating the Scouting movement’s proud 100-year legacy of leadership and service.
