 This was done for several reasons: 1. To encourage each Scouting Unit in Sapona District to be aware of and implement the JTE program as a means of strengthening their unit finance, programming, membership and service; 2. To ensure all Scout Units in each BSA program are measured against consistent standards and measured against their own unit’s previous year’s results to drive continuous improvement; 3. To eliminate any advantages of larger units versus smaller units and/or new units versus longer tenured units; and 4. To ensure all units have equal access to the information and standards of our Sapona District & BSA Recognition. JTE Scoring is done by each Scout Unit’s leadership and committee with assistance by their Unit Commissioner. The JTE Scorecard is turned in with your Unit’s annual re-charter in December. The
Sapona District Cups will be awarded annually utilizing the highest
Unit JTE Scores for each Scouting program. In the event of a tie
between two units within the same Scouting program, the tie-breaker for
that program’s Sapona Cup Award will be presented to the unit with the
highest percentage of Adult Scouters (all or any registered unit
leader-i.e. Scoutmasters & Assistants, Cubmasters & Assistants,
Den Leaders, Crew Advisors, Post Advisor, Unit Committee Members &
Chartered Partner Representative) who have completed their role specific
training.
