Journey to Excellence - GOLD!


Congratulations Pack 1910 -- you are part of a Journey to Excellence GOLD Unit!

Scouting's Journey to Excellence is the Boy Scouts of America's planning, performance, and recognition program designed to encourage and reward the success of its units, districts and councils. It is meant to encourage excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.

To reach Gold, our pack has to score highly on different grading criteria within 8 out of 11 target areas such as:

  • operating within a budget
  • membership related goals such as building, retaining and transitioning Webelos to a Troop
  • helping our boys advance
  • conducting a fulfilling outdoor program
  • participation in the summer day camp and resident camps
  • conducting service projects
  • holding regular pack and den meetings
  • recruiting and maintaining trained leadership
A perk of Gold status is that each member gets a spiffy new patch (pictured above) to wear on the bottom of the right sleeve of their blue or tan scout uniform shirts.  These were distributed at the January Pack meeting.  If you weren't in attendance, please check with our awards chair to pick yours up!
