National Quality Unit Award

Prairie Grove Pack 94 is tasked with the goal of achieving the the Quality Unit Award. Please review the requirements below and think about how you can help us achieve this honor.

The Quality Unit Award recognizes outstanding packs, troops, teams, crews, and ships that conduct quality programs for their youth. All members, both youth and adults, of a pack that earns this award may wear the Quality Unit emblem (pictured to the right) on their uniforms, and a streamer may be displayed on the pack flag.

To qualify as a Quality Unit, a pack must meet all of the following conditions:

1. The Cubmaster and at least half of all den leaders must be fully trained—i.e., they have completed both Fast Start and Basic Leader Training.
   
2. The pack must have two-deep leadership, including an active, registered, and trained assistant Cubmaster as well as a registered adult who is responsible for promoting Youth Protection training.
   
3. The pack must provide at least one approved outdoor experience for its Scouts.
   
4. The pack must renew its charter on time—before the previous year's charter expires.

Additionally, the pack must meet two of the following conditions:

• The pack must provide at least nine pack meetings per year and qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award (above).
  
• The pack must have at least one active Tiger Cub den.
  
• The pack must complete at least one community service project.
  
• At least 75 percent of the Scouts must advance in rank.
  
• All Scouts subscribe to Boys' Life magazine.
  
• The pack must demonstrate positive membership growth.

Though it is possible to qualify as a Quality Unit for meeting only six of the 10 conditions above, Cub Scout leaders are encouraged to aim for all 10. These qualities have been shown to be critical indicators of successful pack operations.

Applications for the Quality Unit Award may be downloaded from the Cub Scout forms page.
