Recognition and Awards - Alamo Area Council

Unit Awards

Journey to Excellence

This award was retired by the National Council on December 31, 2024.

Journey to Excellence was Scouting America's program to help Packs, Troops, Crews, Ships and Posts to plan, monitor and evaluate their performance and their ability to serve youth. There are specific criteria for the unit to plan and accomplish. These standards are reviewed each year and revised standards are published.

Baden Powell Award

The Baden Powell Award can only be earned by units chartered with the Alamo Area Council. The criteria for the award focuses on activities completed within the Council, as a way to further celebrate a unit's successes in implementing opportunities that benefit the youth they serve.
