Based on criteria set by BSA our Troop earned the highest level (Gold) award for Journey to Excellence for the award’s inaugural year 2011.

"Scouting's Journey to Excellence" is the BSA's new performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of units (such as Troops), districts, and councils. It replaced the Centennial Quality Awards Program as a means of encouraging excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.  Based on performance measures three levels of awards are given - Bronze, Silver or Gold. “Gold” represents the highest level of achievement.
