Journey to Excellence
" JTE " is the BSA ' s performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success and measure the performance of our units . It is meant to encourage excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of BSA accomplished through continuous improvement .
January is the best time to review your JTE score and evaluate how to improve in 2017 . The Commissioner Corps is ready to help you create a Unit Service Plan for the year .
Recharter
Commissioner Corner
We have a few units that haven ’ t turned in their charters . There are many consequences to not being current including youth not being able to advance and receive recognition . Please contact your Commissioner for help .
Service Area Commissioners
With the recent change in Council structure , we have moved to Service Area Commissioners . These great volunteers will function exactly like District Commissioners only with a new title . Contact them if your unit needs help .

Lion Program
Cub Scouting ’ s pilot program for kindergarten -age boys is having great success again .
Lion kindergartners make friends , laugh loud , gain confidence , discover nature , and most of all … have fun ! They experience the Scouting concepts of character development , leadership , citizenship , and personal fitness through engaging and exciting adventures !
This family-oriented program will allow youth to have a blast exploring the world around him in ways that fuel his imagination and creativity .
If your pack doesn ’ t have a Lion program , contact District Executive Greg Pistner today .
