We recognize that this is a worrying time for everyone, and you may be concerned about how you will continue with your Award. If you are unable to do your usual activities, take a look at our ideas for how you can keep your Award going remotely or in isolation. Please remember that the Award is about working towards and achieving goals that you have discussed and agreed to with your Award Leader and/or Assessor, not just counting hours of activity. All changes to your plan of activities should be discussed with your Award Leader. If you need to change your section goals, contact your Assessor for guidance in developing a new achievable goal.
Many Award activities have been cancelled, but there are many new activities that you can try from home instead. We have worked with our partners and global Award family to develop a list of activities you can do from the comfort of your own home. Check out the list!
As your New Brunswick division, we are here to guide and support you while on the road to completing and achieving your Award.
Can't find what you are looking for or need a few questions answered? Then send us an email, we are here to help!

THE PRESENTER - FRANK SCOTT, Founder & Chairman of the NB Spirits Festival
Whenever Frank Scott pours a single malt into a glass, a look of satisfaction
and contentment crosses his face. No wonder. As one of Canada's most respected
Scotch connoisseurs, he's passionate about whisky.
Frank
co-owns and manages the Lunar Rogue, an award-winning pub in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada. With more than 500 whiskies on the gantry - one of the best
selections in North America - the "Rogue" is a favourite destination
for whisky lovers. Whisky Magazine calls it one of the "great whisky bars
of the world".
Born
in Fredericton, Frank's 39-year career as a publican began in 1976 when he
opened his first pub. Ten years later, he developed an interest in Scotch
whisky, and, ever since, has devoted himself to expanding and sharing his
knowledge about how it's produced. Since 1992, he's hosted many whisky seminars
and tastings for corporate groups and charitable events.
Frank
is a member and past president of the Whisky Tasting Society of New Brunswick.
He has toured more than 70 distilleries and each year attends the Spirit of
Speyside Festival, which named him International Ambassador during the 2014. In
2016, he was inducted as a Keeper of the Quaich.
