Unit and Membership Renewal
Scouting America provides an online process for member and unit renewals. The link below contains several resources to help ensure a smooth and efficient renewal experience. All units and members currently registered with Scouting America must complete this process annually.
Journey to Excellence
Scouting’s Journey to Excellence (JTE) is the BSA’s planning, performance, and recognition program designed to encourage and reward the success of our units. It is meant to encourage excellence in providing a quality program at all levels of the BSA. You can download/view the JTE Guidebook and Scorecard for your program below. If you would prefer a paper copy, please contact the Council Service Center and we will be happy to provide you with one!
Scoutbook
Scoutbook is the BSA’s online unit management tool and helps Scouts, parents and leaders track advancement and milestone achievements along the Scouting trail.
As of January 1, 2019, Scoutbook subscriptions are free to all scouting units.

Guide to Safe Scouting
All participants in official Scouting activities should become familiar with the Guide to Safe Scouting and applicable program literature or manuals, and be aware of state or local government regulations that supersede Boy Scouts of America practices, policies, and guidelines. The Guide to Safe Scouting is an overview of Scouting policies and procedures gleaned from a variety of sources. For some items, the policy statements are complete. Unit leaders are expected to review the additional reference material cited prior to conducting such activities.
