Journey to Excellence year.

[Pale Horse]

Does the Journey to Excellence follow the calendar year or the Scout year? If the Scout year, are we working towards the 2017 award now?

[NJCubScouter]

I believe it is the charter year, but in our district that is the same as the calendar year anyway.  If the charter year differs from the calendar year, I am not certain.

According to the Denver Area Council it is calendar year.

Our council is the calendar year.  With a June charter renewal, it was difficult to ever gain the award so the troop never tried.

I just sent a note to the national JTE lead asking the question. The answer does not exist where it is easily found. I will post any reply I get. 

 

EDIT: That was fast!!! Here's the reply I received from the national JTE person...

 

JTE is from January 1 to December 31 of each calendar year. Below is a blurb from a unit worksheet regarding recharter:

if you download the scorecard from www.scouting.org it says in the paragraph on the top of the second page, last sentence "The period for measuring performance will be the calendar year."

One would think in the FAQ that would be question number one. It's the one I hear most often in my Council.

Thanks for the answers everybody.  Appreciate it.
