Pack 320's Awards

Early on, the leadership of the Pack made an effort to accomplish as many of the stated goals of Cub Scouting as possible each year. As a result, Pack 320 has earned the Quality Unit Award every year since 1994.

Cub Scout Pack
2004 Quality Unit Requirements

Aim to achieve a ‘‘yes’’ on all 10 commitments. You need six to qualify for the Quality Pack Award. This includes all of the four starred (*) items plus a minimum of two additional items.

*1. Training. The Cubmaster and at least 50 percent of Tiger Cub den leaders, Cub Scout den leaders, and Webelos den leaders must complete the Fast Start training within 90 days of selection and registration and must complete Basic
Leader Training (or Cub Scout Leader Basic Training). Leaders who have completed basic training may be considered to have completed Fast Start as a part of that process. Although not required for this award, the pack should strive to have all leaders complete Basic Leader Training. If the unit had trained leaders during most of the charter year, but a new leader was selected too late to complete basic training before charter renewal, the council may still approve this item (also applies to No. 2).

*2. Two-Deep Leadership. The pack must have two-deep leadership. A qualified assistant Cubmaster must be active,
registered, and trained with Fast Start and basic training. A registered adult in the pack must be assigned responsibility
to promote Youth Protection training and coordinate appropriate awareness for parents and youth members.

*3. Outdoor Activities. Encourage all Cub Scouts to participate in at least one approved outdoor experience. To qualify, the pack must take part in at least one such activity.

*4. On-Time Charter Renewal. See that the charter renewal application and fees reach the local council service center before midnight of the last day of the pack’s charter year. Most units will want to submit their renewal at least 15 days before charter expiration to allow adequate time for processing and any unforeseen delays.

5. Pack Meetings. Good pack meetings and summertime activities should be preceded by meetings of pack leaders
and the pack committee.

6. Tiger Cubs. This program is for first-grade boys. Tiger Cubs and their adult partners register as a Tiger Cub den and are a part of the pack.

7. Service Project. Consider your chartered organization as your first preference. A community service program is
another choice. Or, if you desire to help Scouting in other countries, funds can be transmitted to your local council
for the World Friendship Fund. Also, fill in the total number of hours devoted to community service efforts and
projects by all youth members of your unit during the past 12 months.

8. Advancement. Set objectives for advancement, using the spaces on your commitment sheet. A year from now you
will check results. Additional Cub Scouts enrolled during the year are not figured in the percentage. Only those
Tiger Cubs/Cub Scouts/Webelos Scouts listed on the charter application at the beginning of the charter year are
counted at the end of the charter year.
Examples:
40 Cub Scouts registered at the beginning of the pack charter year.
32 Cub Scouts advanced a rank during the year.
80 percent of these Cub Scouts advanced a rank (commitment is met).
OR
30 percent advanced a rank last year.
45 percent advanced a rank this year.
15 percent increase in number of boys advancing over a year ago (commitment is met).

9. Boys’ Life. Set objectives for Boys’ Life magazine. It is recommended that 100 percent of your pack families subscribe. Part of the pack’s annual budget should include Boys’ Life magazine.

10. Membership. Conduct a membership inventory and personally invite Cub Scouts who have been missing meetings. Plan a program to invite new boys as they reach Cub Scout age.
