National Summertime Pack Award
Years Pack 415 has won this award: 1978, 1998, 2000
A pack can qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award certificate and streamer by planning and conducting three pack activities—one each in June, July, and August. This award can be an incentive for greater attendance at your summer pack activities.
Qualifying packs receive a colorful streamer for their pack flag. Dens with an average attendance of at least half their members at the three summer pack events will be eligible for a colorful den participation ribbon. Boys who participate in all three pack events are eligible to receive the National Summertime Pack Award pin, which they can wear on the right pocket flap of their uniform.
The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a "year-round school" (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.
Quality Unit Award

The Quality Unit Award recognizes outstanding packs that conduct quality programs for their youth. All members, both youth and adults, of a pack that earns this award may wear the Quality Unit emblem on their uniforms, and a streamer may be displayed on the pack flag.
To qualify as a Quality Unit, a pack must meet all of the following conditions:
- The Cubmaster and at least half of all den leaders must be fully trained—i.e., they have completed both Fast Start and Basic Leader Training.
- The pack must have two-deep leadership, including an active, registered, and trained assistant Cubmaster as well as a registered adult who is responsible for promoting Youth
- Protection training.
- The pack must provide at least one approved outdoor experience for its Scouts.
- The pack must renew its charter on time—before the previous year's charter expires.
- Additionally, the pack must meet two of the following conditions:
- The pack must provide at least nine pack meetings per year and qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award (above).
- The pack must have at least one active Tiger Cub den.
The pack must complete at least one community service project. - At least 75 percent of the Scouts must advance in rank.
- All Scouts subscribe to Boys' Life magazine.
- The pack must demonstrate positive membership growth.
- Though it is possible to qualify as a Quality Unit for meeting only six of the 10 conditions above, Cub Scout leaders are encouraged to aim for all 10. These qualities have been shown to be critical indicators of successful pack operations.
