Quality Unit Requirements Revised for 2007
Total Quality Program is the Goal!
World Scouting turns 100 years old in 2010 and, as part of
the Boy Scouts of America's participation in this world-wide
observance, the requirements for the Quality Unit award have
been changed dramatically. First of all, the unit itself has
the opportunity to establish its OWN GOALS in a number of
areas. These areas include the number of youth to recruit and
retain, the number of adult leaders to recruit and the percent
of your adult leaders that will complete at least the basic
training for their registered position.
Naturally, there are still some standards to achieve as well
including percent of youth who advance in rank, who participate
in outdoor programs, a planned program and adequate budget to
fund that program. Support of and participation in Friends of
Scouting and the council product sale ("Boy Scout Popcorn") are
also included here.
Finally, the unit, in cooperation with their Unit Commission,
can set additional goals as needed.
Trained, active leaders are happier and more productive and
they will provide a well-planned and adequately funded program
which will recruit and retain more youth who will advance
farther, attend more camps, sell more popcorn and increase their
families support of the unit, district and council in all
areas. This is a win-win-win and it all begins--and ends--with
quality program!
