The Golden Thistle Award was created in 2015 and it is named after the Scottish Thistle flower and follows the same traditions of honor.

The Golden Thistle Award recognizes a member for going above and beyond in getting involved with the krewe. This award is given out on a quarterly basis. Members of the krewe get a chance to nominate another member.

The nominees are presented to the board of directors on a quarterly basis. The board will determine the winner for the quarter by voting among them. The first month in the new quarter the krewe president will recognize the recipient with the award at the monthly meeting.

The nominated member cannot be on the board and or a social member. Previous recipients are not eligible
