Individual Award Requirements
HISTORIC TRAILS AWARD
To earn the award, members of your unit must plan and participate in
a historic activity. A unit historic activity requires members to:
- Locate a historic trail or site and study information relating to it. (The
information may be obtained from an adult historic society, public library, or
people living near the trail or the site.)
- Hike or camp two days and one night along the trail or in the vicinity of the
site.
- Cooperate with an adult group such as a historic society to restore and
mark all or part of this trail or site. (This may be done during the hike or
overnight camp.) Or cooperate with such a group to plan and stage a historic
pageant, ceremony, or other public event related to this trail or site -- such
event should be large enough to merit coverage by the local press.
- Your unit leader must then file the Historic Trails Award application with
your council service center.
