In May of 2006, at the National Annual Meeting of the Boy Scouts of America, an exciting new National Strategic Plan was presented, "2010: When Tradition Meets Tomorrow." To support this Strategic Plan, a new and exciting Centennial Quality Award program is being introduced with the objective of "Improving the QUALITY of Program in Every Unit in America."
A key concept of this new program is a high degree of volunteer involvement in the goal-setting, measurement, and evaluation process at all levels. Your unit will work with a commissioner to establish goals, accomplish those goals during the year, and reviewing performance at year-end. The process and new forms have been simplified. There is now one standard form, downloadable from the National website or by using the links below, for all units: packs, troops, teams, and crews. An "interpretation worksheet" will explain the goal-setting criteria and give examples.
Included also are the unit self-assessment forms. The forms are filled out by the Unit Leader (Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Crew Advisor) and the Committee Chair and then reviewed with a commissioner. The self-assessments are completed at least twice a year.
