Year-end reporting for 2022 is due January 31, 2023. Please submit required information through the Section Minimum Standards & Scorecard App. Scroll down to learn how to access the app, view the training tutorial, or download the step-by-step handbook.

Sections are required to meet all Section Minimum Standards to remain in compliance and receive funding. Sections may voluntarily report Section Scorecard activity and accumulate points to qualify for annual awards.

NOTE: The Section Minimum Standards process will be phased out in 2023 as the Section Modernization Plan is rolled out. As such, data for the current year (2023) will not be collected in the app.
