| REQUIREMENTS: 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 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. |
