Journey to Excellence helps you get there. It brings:

great Crews• Guidance in areas where you might do better• Specific guidelines and standards of what is good
performance• Early warning of potential problem areas• Recognition for your good performance• Benchmarking to get ideas and tips from other good Crews
You assess your performance in key areas including
• Activities• Youth Leadership• Service Projects• Training
• Membership• Retention• Budget
In each area, your youth leaders and Advisors rate your performance against specific standards
Gold, Silver, Bronze or did not meet minimum standard
And did you show improvement?
You make your rating as part of your charter renewal
Emphasis of Journey to Excellence
Continuous Improvement is a Goal– Did your Crew do measurably better in key areas
than last year?– OR are you already performing at a high level in
those areas?
Either way, you can qualify for the standard
Emphasis of Journey to Excellence
• Program and Participation in Unit (Membership) are most important factors
• Administrative factors are considered• Factors which are early indicators of Crew
strength and health are identified and assessed
Here’s an Example
Activities: The crew has regular activities throughout the year reflecting the interests of the youth members.
Bronze – Have carried out at least four activities. 100 points
Silver – Have carried out at least five activities. – 200 points
Gold – Have carried out at least six activities. – 400 points
Here’s another ExampleYouth leadership: The crew has elected
youth leaders who are leading the crew activities.
Bronze – Have an elected president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, and they are leading the activities of the crew. 75 points
Silver – 50% of the youth participate in Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews (ILSC)course. 150 points
Gold – 70% of youth participate in Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews course. 300 points
How is your overall rating determined?
• You receive points in each of the categoriesGold, Silver, Bronze or no rating (no points)
• Your total points are added to give your total score• Requirements are weighted as they correlate most with
success receiving the most points• No one requirement is mandatory• Your total score determines your overall rating For 2011 troops: Gold is 1600, Silver is 1000, Bronze is 700• Journey to Excellence assessment is made at the time of your

Here’s how you might calculate the points for a typical Crew

SUM 325 400 400
Bronze is earned because the Crew achieved at least 9 of 11 requirements. Total of 1125 points. Since Silver is 1000 and Gold is 1600, this Crew qualifies for the Silver award
You get Early Warning of Potential Problems
• The form has several requirements shown to be leading indicators of performance
• The more important the requirement, the higher point value it has
• You can be alerted if these requirements become negative and take early action to head off more severe problems
There is incentive for Continuous Improvement
• Better Performance means better Scouting for youth!• Better Performance can earn a higher level of
Recognition• Key requirements are tracked and improvement can
be quickly identified• Your Council and District can help you find units at
the Gold level in areas where you need help• You may be able to give help in your Gold areas
Requirement Standards Change Each Year
• Each year, the requirements will be reconsidered to reflect the improved performance by units
• New standards for 2012 will likely be announced in early 2012– Performance for 2011 will determine the 2012
standards, so 2011 data will need to be collected and analyzed
• A Silver performance for 2011 might only rate Bronze in 2012
