Centennial Quality Award

The Centennial Quality Awards program is designed to recognize units, districts, councils, areas, and
regions in achieving excellence in providing a quality program to a growing youth population in America
at all levels of the Boy Scouts of America.

The Centennial Quality Award is named in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.  The new award begins in 2007 and continues until 2010.  Each year that you qualify, you will receive recognition for that year.  2007 will have a red background, 2008 will have a white background, 2009 will have a blue background, and 2010 will have a red, white, and blue background.
 

Recognition items:

• For members: A patch worn on the uniform with the colors for that year can be ordered from the
  Supply Group for each youth and adult member.

• For units: A ribbon/streamer for each year with the color for that year, lapel pins, and plaques for each year with the background the color for that year are available to order.  Streamers will be
  bulk shipped to each council registrar in the summer of each year for distribution at the end of the year.

Special note: If the award is earned for all four years, there will be a special distinction developed to
recognize groups at all levels in 2010.
