Once your child’s application is approved, a “Top Secret” award packet will be mailed to your home address filled with goodies such as dog tags, a patch, and a personalized award certificate. Your child’s grant check, made payable to the activity provider, will also be inside the award packet so that you may hand-deliver it to the activity provider / organization.
