Award Requirements
To meet the Quality Unit Web-site criteria, candidate Scouting and/or Guiding Web-sites must satisfy the following criteria:

  1. Scout - Guide Group Identification (required) - Identify your organization completely, and indicate local Unit interrelationships by including:
    • Links to your local Council/District home pages (if applicable)
    • Links to your National Organization pages
    • Links to related pages (related units located within your area)
    • Indicate Unit physical location (i.e. City, State, Province, County,Country, etc.)

  2. Your Website Must Be Team-Based (required) - Your site must involve all elements of your Organization in the planning, implementation and upkeep of the site or page. In other words, this should NOT be a "one person show." The identification of the Web management team responsible for the site is required. The purpose of which is to facilitate communications with visitors to the Web-site.

  3. Camping and Outdoor Activities (required) - Tell about a recent (within the last few months) campout or outdoor activity that at least 50 percent of the youth's membership participated in. This should include where the campout or outdoor activity was held, the purpose of the activity or campout, and the results gained from the event (increased advancement, fun, personal growth, etc.). For District or Council-level camp or outdoor activities, stats showing majority participation in these events should be shown.

  4. Unit Training Programs - Provide public access to a summary all scheduled training classes and orientation programs that are available to Unit members and leaders. This should include session descriptions, dates, locations, prerequisites, and contact names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers.

  5. Community Service - Tell the visitor about a recent (within the last year) Service Project undertaken by the Unit or Organization. The idea here is to share how the project was organized, implemented, coordinated... and completed. The service must be rendered to a group or organization external to Scouting or Guiding.

  6. Advancement - Tell the visitor about the Unit or Organization's recent Scout (and/or Scouter) advancements and recognitions (within the last six months).

  7. Organizational Communication - Have transcripts or summaries of Unit management or Committee meetings, or Council Executive Board meetings (if applicable) available for downloading.

  8. Resources - Include hyper-linked references to on-line Scouting program resources. This should include Scout and Scouter 'helps' in the areas of advancement requirements, special program requirements, and / or other on-line resources of use to your local Unit Scouting programs. Links to National Scouting or Guiding resources (such as Boys' Life and Scouter magazine (USA) or other program 'helps') is a plus here.

Important Notes
  1. Organizations that meet at least six of the eight goals above (including the first three which are required), qualify as "Quality Unit Websites" for 1998. As such, qualifying Websites have earned the right to display the "Quality Unit Website" Award during the year for which it is awarded.

  2. To maintain this Award status during subsequent years, the Unit Website must exhibit continuous improvement over time. This will be expressed via inclusion of new and constantly updated informational content.

  3. During the month of December 1998, our Team will visit all Websites that have earned this award for 1998. We will use this opportunity to re-affirm the above criteria, and if warranted, grant the "1999 Quality Unit Website" award. There is no need to re-up!
