Centurion Award?

[Akela in NY 10]

One of our neighboring Packs advertises that they are a "Centurion Pack" and describes that accomplishment as: "We are considered a Centurion Pack because all our leaders are trained for their positions."

 

I have been trying to get further info on this without success. Can anyone else elaborate?

 

Thanks, Rodd

Akela, welcome to the Forums.

 

"Centurion Pack"? Must be a local thing -- I'm one of the district training chairs in my council, and I've been to "Training Cub Leaders" at PTC, but I've never heard of such an award.

 

If it works to incent leaders to get trained, then go for it.

 

I would think getting trained in order to put on a better program (and to earn Quality Unit and wear the "Trained" strip & leader knot) would be incentive enough, but some folks need that extra bit of motivation.

 

Your best bet is to ask your district training team about this -- they would surely know more about local awards then anyone on this Forum.

 

Good luck.

I got a return e-mail back from our District Executive about this award. Apparently it's a local council thing that recognizes pack who's leaders are 100% trained.

 

Thanks, Rodd
