| REQUIREMENTS: 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. |
