Historic Trails
Award Requirements
 
To earn the award, members of your unit must plan and participate in a historic activity. A unit historic activity requires members to:
 
  1. 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 site.)

  2. Hike or camp two days and one night along the trail or in the vicinity of the site.

  3. 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 an event should be large enough to merit coverage by the local press.

  4. Your unit leader must then file the Historic Trails application with your local council service center.
