Journey to Excellence

journey to excellence score sheets

Journey to Excellence is the Boy Scouts of America program to help Packs, Troops, Crews, Ships and Posts to plan, monitor, and evaluate their performance and their ability to serve youth. There are specific criteria for the unit to plan and accomplish. These standards are reviewed each year and revised standards are published. A great unit is balanced in the service that it provides to youth.

We regard the various colors as meaning:

Bronze – Effective
Silver – Excellent
Gold – Exceptional

A district is a geographical area of the council determined by the council executive board to help ensure the growth and success of Scouting units within the district’s territory. The district committee, along with a professional advisor called the district executive, is responsible for administering the program, ensuring its financial success, making connections in the community, shepherding established Scouting units, and adhering to national standards, goals, and objectives.
