2013 National Exploring Journey to Excellence Award
The new National Exploring Journey to Excellence Award changes the basic way we measure and recognize success in Exploring. Posts can qualify for a Bronze, Silver or Gold level of achievement. The objectives were developed following extensive research into proven indicators of enduring post programs. In planning your strategy, use actual numbers from the previous renewal year to chart your progress. Use the criteria in planning your strategy for the coming year to guide your performance improvement. The post youth officers should take the lead in making this assessment.
Exploring Newsletter, Fall 2013
In response to popular demand, Exploring will publish a quarterly newsletter that will be emailed to all Post Advisors and uploaded to the homepage. If you have an article or an event coming up that you would like to see in the upcoming Winter newsletter, drop a note to John Eastman, Exploring Director or JoLynne in the Exploring office.
