Scout of the Year Program Each year, beginning in 1985, we began recognizing the top three Scouts in our Troop The Scouts earn points throughout the year for participation in various activities and payment of dues. With an emphasis on "Character Counts" by the National Office, it was decided, in 2003, to add another element to determine the Scout of the Year. | |||

The Selection Process
After the last event for the year has been completed, a member of the Troop Committee will tally the points for each Scout. This data is gathered from two sources.
1) Records for dues, attendance and wearing of uniform are provided by the Troop Treasurer and Scribe.
2) The Troop Master application software is used to provide data for the remaining requirements.
A Troop Committee member will tally the points for all Scouts. The names of the top five Scouts are then presented to a three or more member sub-committee of the Troop Committee. The sub-committee will then decide which Scout of the top five best exemplifies true Scout-like Character and is worthy to be called the Scout of the Year for Troop 103.
Following evaluation by the sub-committee, a gold (1st) medal is awared to the top scout who best exemplify Scout-like Character.
The points awarded each activity are as follows:
| ACTIVITY | POINTS EARNED |
| Troop meeting attendance Wearing uniform at Troop meetings Timely payment of dues Participation in Troop activities Participation in District activities Participation in Council activities Participation in National activities Earning a Merit Badge Achieving Rank Advancement Earning a Religious Emblem Uniform Inspection |
10 points per meeting 10 points per meeting 10 points per month 75 points per activity 150 points per activity 200 points per activity 250 points per activity 25 points per Badge 100 points per Rank 100 points per emblem 100 max points per year |

The Eagle Award
A scout who achieves the rank of Eagle Scout has mastered requirements in the area of leadership, service and outdoor skills. Eagle Scout is a rare achievement at the national level where between 2 to 4 percent of all Boy Scouts achieve this rank. At Troop 103 the success rate of scouts achieving the rank of Eagle Scout is ten times greater than the national average. This is a reflection of the dedication and committment of the Troop leadership to the scouting program and the opportunities available to the scouts. National Eagle Scout Association
Founded in 1972, the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) maintains contact with Eagle Scouts to sustain their interest in Scouting. Any Eagle Scout may join the association. Applications for membership in NESA are available through your local council, on the BSA Web page (www.scouting.org), or by contacting the Eagle Scout Service at the national office.
