We did it again.  For the sixth successive year since the Crew has been chartered, we earned the top award for BSA units.  This included a review of our membership growth and retention, having all adults fully trained, Venturers earning recognition awards, and an active calendar of activities based on an annual planning conference lead by the youth. This was the first year that used a grading criteria which is goal-oriented.  The new system is called the Journey To Excellence, and all Venturing Crews nationwide are compared to standards set by the National Council.  The new grading is much more challenging and winners are designed as Bronze, Silver, and Gold level.
