2010 is here! The 100th
anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America is upon us! As the last step
towards celebrating this milestone in 2010, it is now time to set your goals
for the 2010 Centennial Quality Unit Award. This is the final year of the
program started 3 years ago. Securing this fourth and final achievement for
2010 will be a recognition that your unit will be extremely proud to
accomplish.
The Centennial Quality Award is named in celebration of the 100th
anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. The award began in 2007 and
continues until 2010. Each year that you qualify, you will qualify to
receive recognition for that year. There was a red background in 2007, a
white background in 2008, a blue background in 2009, and 2010 will have a
red, white, and blue background.
Special note: If earned all four years, a special distinction will be
available to recognize groups who qualify in 2010.
The award patch is displayed on the uniform's right sleeve below the patrol
emblem or den numeral. Only the most recent year's patch is worn, not a
string of past year patches.
How Does a Unit Qualify?
Units that have set their goals for 2010, and have met their goals, can earn
the Centennial Quality Unit Award.
Between October 1 and December 31, 2010, a unit’s leaders and a district
representative, usually a commissioner, meet to review the unit’s Centennial
Quality achievements as they compare to the goals the unit set at the
beginning
of the year.

Since the award is based on a unit’s own assessment of
its improvement, it is permissible to adjust the number in the 2010 Goal
section on any category that the unit may have missed. Reaching your
unit’s original projected numbers is not as important as recognizing
your unit's improvement. |
