50 Miler Award |
|
The 50-Miler Award is presented to each qualifying individual for satisfactory
participation in an approved trip. In order to qualify for the
award the group of which the individual is a member must fulfill all of the
following requirements.
- Make complete and satisfactory plans for the trip, including the
possibilities of advancement.
- Cover the trail or canoe or boat route of not less than 50
consecutive miles; take a minimum of five consecutive days to complete the trip
without the aid of motors. (In some areas pack animals may be used.)
- During the time on the trail or waterway, complete a minimum of 10 hours
each of group work on projects to improve the trail, springs, campsite,
portage, or area. If, after checking with recognized authorities, it
is not possible to complete 10 hours each of group work on the trail, a
similar project may be done in the unit's home area. (There should be no
unauthorized cutting of brush or timber.)
- Unit or tour leader must then file a 50-Miler Award application with the local council service center. This
application gives additional details about planning the trip.
