Shenandoah Lodge issues flap for JTE achievements

Shenandoah Lodge 258, serving Stonewall Jackson Council of Waynesboro, VA recently released a special commemorative flap patch celebrating their fifth consecutive year of achieving the gold level in the OA Journey to Excellence program.

The flap is priced at $10 and funds raised are targeted to match a $3500 grant for the first year camper program.

The Journey to Excellence program was launched in 2011 and adopted nationwide in 2012 to replace the previous Quality Lodge program. JTE focuses on specific goals for continuous improvement, and uses a point system to qualify Lodges at bronze, silver, or gold recognition levels. A comprehensive scoresheet is submitted by each lodge at the end of the year to the national office.
