The Section 6 Service Award was created in 2011 to recognize outstanding service on the section level for youth and adult members. In 2022, the award was renamed the Section E3 Service Award to align with the new section designation. Nicknamed the Silver Turtle, the award consists of a turtle embossed with the totem of the section leadership suspended from a green and white ribbon. The turtle is the symbol of leadership in many Native American cultures. Recipients are also presented with a lapel pin and pocket device.
Recipients have included past Conclave committee chairmen, past section officers, distinguished committee advisers, lodge advisers, and section staff advisers. The complete list is below.
