The ICC Development Programme Annual Awards have been running since 2002 and are open to countries who are associate and affiliate members.
Cricket Scotland's Ian Sandbrook said: "This is great recognition for our clubs, schools, coaches, volunteers and staff that have all put in a huge amount of effort to grow and sustain the game we love."
The winner of the ICC award receives a cricket equipment grant of £3,500 to its national cricket body.
Cricket Scotland's head of participation was delighted to receive such recognition for its grassroots programmes.
"We are continually looking at how we can improve our work with clubs, schools and other key stakeholders to attract new people to the game and build a sustainable future for cricket," said Sandbrook.
"Great initiatives like the Thriving Clubs Programme, CricketForce, Community Coaching Programme, our new Club Awards, Last Man Stands leagues, the roll out of the curriculum for excellence programme, and our continued growth in female cricket, has started to establish a stronger foundation for the game to flourish.
"From my perspective, we have only just started and we're absolutely committed to building on this to take cricket to the next level in Scotland."
Meanwhile, Scotland will play two one-day internationals against Afghanistan at The Grange in Edinburgh on 4 and 6 July, with Hong Kong visiting the same venue on 8 and 10 September.

First Minister Peter Robinson suggested devolved powers for social welfare could be handed back if the Stormont parties failed to reach agreement.
Sinn Féin and the SDLP are currently refusing to support the changes.
Ms Villiers described the idea as hugely controversial.
"It's the current government's approach that any changes to the devolution settlement have to be broadly supported across the political parties, across the community, so I'm afraid on welfare reform, I'd love to see progress on this, but I think the progress in getting it through has to come through agreement between the political parties and adopting it at Stormont," she said.
The welfare reform bill, if implemented, would largely introduce measures already introduced elsewhere in the UK.
Mr Robinson told the BBC's The View on Thursday that a package had been discussed by himself and Martin McGuinness last May, but the deputy first minister could not sell it to his party.
The first minister said the package contained ways to help alleviate the effects of reform.

The Maze peace centre; Haass talks proposals; On the Runs; loyalist paramilitary violence and now welfare reform.
The subject matter changes, but that's all. Relations between Sinn Féin and the DUP - between Martin McGuinness and Peter Robinson - fluctuate from one row to the next.
So how serious is this one? Well as serious as the last, except disagreement over welfare reform is costing money and must be sorted - sooner or later.
Later probably given that there are elections to be fought in May. If only they had a joint trip to the US coming up where grinning and bearing it would be the only option.
He said it had failed because Mr McGuinness had been unable to sell it to senior Sinn Féin members of the Irish parliament.
Mr Robinson said the Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams had a very negative influence on the party's team in the Northern Ireland Executive.
In response, Mr McGuinness said Mr Robinson had "crossed the line" by saying they had reached agreement on welfare reform.
The deputy first minister said Mr Robinson's version of events was not true.
He said some of the first minister's comments in relation to the discussions that took place between them and other Sinn Féin and DUP negotiators on the issue of welfare cuts bore "no reality to what happened at the time".
Mr Robinson, the DUP leader, said in response to Mr McGuinness' comments: "I made it very clear in the interview that no deal is done until we get the support of our parties, that we were all comfortable enough to go with the package to our parties.
"That's the position that I outlined, it's the position that I stand over. Indeed in terms of them not being able to get their party over the line, why on earth would he have brought me in on a Saturday afternoon if there hadn't been some exceptional set of circumstances."
Scotland has won the International Cricket Council's Best Overall Cricket Development Programme Award for 2015.
