JTE Due ASAP (Part of a Charter Renewal Series)

Scouting Update from Paul Bicknell
90% of you have not turned in your JTE form!

District Leadership has extended for a few more days to give you more time to get FREE RANK (Gold and Silver levels). PLEASE take a moment and fill out the form, then send to your Unit Commissioner.

What is JTE?
"Scouting's Journey to Excellence" is the BSA's council performance recognition program designed to encourage and reward success... It is meant to encourage excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA.

Why does a unit want to do JTE?
  1. FREE rank at the Scout Shop for Gold [and Silver!] Level
  2. You're probably doing most of the requirements anyway
  3. FREE rank means you can spend your money on other things for your Scouts
  4. You're probably closer than you think, check the form and work with your Unit Commissioner or District Executive
  5. Did I mention FREE rank?

What do we need to do?

Find the Journey to Excellence (JTE) form here.
If you need help filling it out, please let us know ASAP.
Your JTE form is DUE by the END OF THE YEAR.
