Your commissioner will contact you with the *new* unit Centennial Award forms.  Using the unit self-assessment and guidance from your commissioner, take time to assess your unit and set Quality Goals.  If you require a replacement form, contact TJ and it can be e-mailed to you.  For more information on how the unit is to implement this plan, click on the button above, which will take you to the National website.

The goal of this new award is to focus on unit specific goals targeted towards creating the strongest possible program for youth.  If you have any questions, please contact your commissioner or your district executive.

RETENTION
Does your troop have an adult assigned as Webelos coordinator, or ASM for recruitment?  If not, you need to consider staffing this position in your troop!  One way that the Boy Scout organization is kept strong is through the willful and purposeful recruitment of Webelos into BSA troops.  Encourage an out-going adult in your troop to step into this role.  If you have this position in your organization and have had success in recruiting Webelos, please consider sharing this experience.

NEW UNITS
Scouting is available to boys in first grade through age 20 and boys and girls ages 14-20. In addition, opportunities exist for churches, schools and community organizations to sponsor a new pack, troop or Venture crew. If you are interested and would like more information, contact Carolyn Simshauser cssimshauser@sbcglobal.net or Sherry and T.J. at 314-361-0600.
