Welcome to the Unit Recognition Page
National Catholic Quality Unit Award - Pope Paul VI
This recognition is for units chartered by the Boy Scouts of America. NCCS establishes requirements for units to meet. Girl Scouts of the USA and Camp Fire USA chartered units have no such recognition through NFCYM.
Cooperation, development, and program are the key words in the recognition of Catholic chartered units in earning the National Catholic Quality Unit Award - Pope Paul VI. The adult leadership responds to training not only in Scouting lore, but training in Catholic Scouter Development, and religious counseling. The Scouts in each Pack, Troop, Team, and Crew/Ship respond by participating in the religious emblems program respective of their status in Scouting..
Gold Medallion Award
The Gold Medallion Award program is established to identify and recognize the outstanding Catholic Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, and Venturing Crew/Ship in each of the fifteen Episcopal Regions of the United States. It is also intended to promote the National Catholic Committee on Scouting initiative to increase Scouting units, youth members, and adult leaders. National Gold Medallion winners epitomize those units that excel at providing youth with quality programs including religious activities, religious emblems participation, outdoor activities, and special events that encompass the religious, vocational, and educational aspects of Scouting under Catholic auspices.
If you believe your unit is the best in Region 4, contact your District Representative to assist in preparing your nomination. Don't know who your District Rep is? Use this link to District Reps.
