    “Scouting’s Journey to Excellence”

    Journey to Excellence is the BSA’s new council performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of our units, districts, and councils. It is replacing the Centennial Quality Awards Program as a means of encouraging excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.

    Below you will find links to help you, District Comittee volunteers, understand and track monthly how your area of responsibility is supporting to the District's scorecard. These reports will be updated monthly.

    This is a work in progress...please be patient as we work with ScoutNET and other databases to provide you with the most up to date and accurate information possible.
