2010 Centennial Unit Award Form

[OldGreyEagle]

In your website travels has anyone found the 2010 Centennial form where you can enter the data onto the PDF and save it?

If you know someone with the current full version of Adobe Acrobat, I think you can scan any form and make it "fillable"...

[eghiglie]

No, council gives us a paper form and we fill it out.

We've always done ours as a fillable PDF. I don't think I've seen the 2010 version yet, though.

 

Here's one place to find 2009: http://www.buffalotrailbsa.org/forms/2009centennialaward.pdf

 

I couldn't find a version of 2010 that's fillable. I must say, OGE, you are well ahead of the crowd if you're already filling out your goals for next year.

 

I'd just fill out the 2009 version, print it out, and cross out 2009 and write 2010 in big letters. Or in my case, I'll actually wait and see if they come out with a fillable form.

The 2010 form is at the national site. I got it the first part of November for my units.

Apache Bob,

 

Are you referring to this link on the national site? http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/513-190_wb.pdf

 

That is indeed the 2010 form, but it is not fillable.

 

The 2009 form on the same site, http://www.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/14-190-09.pdf, is indeed editable. Not sure why the 2010 form would not be.

Before you just cross out the 2009 and write 2010, please look at question 1. There is a very large change on the wording of that question. For your Direct Contact Leaders to count, they need to be 'Trained'. For Troops and Teams, this means IOLS and Scoutmaster Specific.

[Oak Tree]

jstephens42, good catch! It had occurred to me that the questions might have changed, but I hadn't reviewed them. It's not so much that it's a "very large change on the wording", but that the change in wording has a very large change in the meaning of the question. The four words "qualify as trained leaders" are certainly a higher bar than the eight words that they replace "complete Basic Leader Training and Youth Protection Training."

 

Question 6 has also been added to. For 2010, you will also need a unit budget, in addition to the program plan and the financial resources. The program plan also has to be done as a conference (presumably instead of the unit leader just jotting down the entire plan himself or herself.)

2009: "We will conduct annual program planning and ..."

2010: "We will conduct an annual program-planning conference, develop an annual budget, and ..."

 

Ok, OGE, I'll admit, you'd have to do more editing now. Still, you could strike out eight words on question 1 and hand-write in four words, and add five words to question 6. But you'd think there would be an editable version out there somewhere.

OakTree - you are correct. I just printed it out and took to both Pack and Troop. Got them completed and signed. Then scanned them and emailed them in.
