The Historic Trails Award is an award of Scouting America designed to promote the ideals of Scouting, Scoutcraft, citizenship, self-reliance, and appreciation of national history. It is awarded for studying, hiking or camping along, and performing a service project for a historic trail. The award may be earned by Cub Scouts, Scouts, Sea Scouts, Venturers and Scout Leaders. The Historic Trails Award was established in April 1956, along with the 50-Miler Award.

Award

The Historic Trails Award is presented as a cloth or leather patch and as a decal. The award may not be worn on the uniform but is affixed to equipment such as backpacks or sewn onto items such as patch vests or blankets.

Requirements

Although the Historic Trails Award is an individual award, the requirements are performed as a group, where groups may be the pack, troop, ship, or crew or a provisional group composed of members of various units. The trip must be properly planned and may include other opportunities for advancement and recognition.
