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
consec�utive 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.
