North Star

The December month brings with it a bit of tedious paperwork for Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Venturing crews as they renew their annual charters for the upcoming year.  This process is due, in completion, to any service center by January 15, 2012.  One new, but very important component this year is the Journey to Excellence program.  Journey to Excellence (JTE) is an ongoing strategic plan that a unit should implement that helps them track quality and performance of their Scouts, leaders, unit committee, financial soundness, and more.  Staying on track and trying to reach the goals ensures the best chance a unit will be successful.

When a unit turns in its charter paperwork prior to January 15, 2012, it must also submit a JTE Scorecard, qualifying the unit to possibly earn Bronze, Silver, or Gold unit recognition within the Boy Scouts of America! 

For assistance in comleting the JTE Scorecard, below are some some data from the previous years.  It is possible there is one error (but likely only one at the most!).  If you think there is an error, please contact Sr. District Executive Mark Hays at mhays@stlbsa.org or 314-550-4233 and he will double check your data. 

Remember, your charter paperwork and the JTE Scorecard are due January 15, 2012.  Turning everything in on-time is even one of the goals on the scorecard!

​	​#1 Advancement: You will need to know the number of total advancements earned in your unit in the last charter year for comparison.  In case you forgot, here is the total (Feb. 1, 2010 - Jan. 31, 2011):	#2 and #3 Retention/Membership:  You will need to know the final number of youth members on last year's recharter (January 31, 2011 official registration on your unit's roster) for comparison. This is the final number of Scouts your unit grew to last charter year (Feb. 1, 2010 - Jan. 31, 2011) and your base comparion for this charter year (Feb. 1, 2011 - Jan. 31, 2012).	​#6 Camp:  The percentage of Scouts attending camp is only applicable to the number of Scouts you had in your unit during the summer so you need to know your membership as of 6/30/11.  (To find the percent that went to camp, you divide the total camp attendees by this number, times 100.)	​#7 (packs) "or" #8 (troops) "or" #5 (crews) - Service Projects:  To qualify for this award you must log your unit's service hours on the JTE website.  To do so you need to know your unit's ID number, which very few people know!  Here it is:
