Should I list it in the activities section?

Yes. If you have room to list it, it would be good. Don’t worry about not mentioning an award. It will give them an idea who you are. Maybe some of the activities in scouting, like backpacking, wilderness camping, or boating, etc. might figure into some of your essays. There are colleges that offer similar activities in clubs and special courses that want kids who are likely to participate in them. If you had any leadership or logistics planning in your GS activities, you could mention that in essays too. I believe that colleges like students who have the values of caring and responsibility and teamwork that GS represents.
