West Wind Eagle Board Of Review Process |
 |
Journey to Excellence is the new performance recognition program for councils, districts, and units that aligns recognition with the National Strategic Plan.
Using a balanced approach and key performance indicators to measure performance versus process, encourage and reward success, and achieve the mission.
Journey To Excellence, the new performance recognition program, changes the basic way we measure and recognize success in the Boy Scouts of America by moving away from measuring process and moving to measuring performance. It is based on many of the best practices used in the corporate performance measurement field today. |
