THE 50-MILER PROGRAM

The primary objective of this

program is to stimulate Boy

Scout, Varsity Scout, and

Venturer interest in the ideals of

the movement and to promote

activity that will result in per-

sonal fitness, self-reliance, know-

ledge of wood lore, and a practical understanding of conservation.

Chartered unit participation is most desirable; however, provi-

sional groups are eligible. This award does not apply if any other

award is available for a trip.

The Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturing unit or provisional

group must follow these rules for a 50-Miler trip:

• Select a suitable trail or waterway.

• Adult leaders 21 or older must make the entire trip.

• If the trip is 500 miles or more from homes of group members

(local council camp excepted) or crosses national boundaries

and into the territory of other nations, a National Tour Permit

Application, No. 4419B, is necessary. For trips and overnight

camps less than 500 miles, use a Local Tour Permit Application,

No. 34426B.

Award 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 ful-

fill all of the following requirements:

1. Make complete and satisfactory plans for the trip, including the

possibilities of advancement.

2. 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.)

3. 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 cut-

ting of brush or timber.)

4. Unit or tour leader must then file the 50-Miler Award application

with the local council service center.

Detach and send the report below to your local council service center.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

NATIONAL PRESIDENT’S

SCOUTMASTER AWARD OF MERIT

Background Shortly after the National Eagle Scout Association was established in 1972, it began to make available

a NESA Scoutmaster Award. The award was presented to one Scoutmaster per BSA area each year. These

Scoutmasters’ records demonstrated proper use of Boy Scout advancement, and a significant number of

their Boy Scouts attained the Eagle Scout rank. This award was discontinued on December 31, 1987.

The president of the Boy Scouts of America requested that NESA convert its award into a Scoutmaster

Award of Merit that could be earned by all Scoutmasters. His rationale was that there is a need for

recognizing Scoutmasters relatively early in their work in that position, before they qualify for the

Scouter’s Key.

Requirements The nominee need not be an Eagle Scout but must:

1. Be a currently registered Scoutmaster who has served in that position for at least 18 months.

2. Have achieved the Quality Unit Award at least once during the period of service.

3. Have completed Boy Scout Leader Fast Start Orientation, New Leader Essentials, Scoutmaster and

Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills.

4. Have a record of proper use of the Boy Scout advancement program, resulting in a majority of

Boy Scouts in the troop attaining the First Class rank.

5. Have a record of

• Development of youth leadership through the patrol method

• Positive relations with the troop’s chartered organization

• An extensive outdoor program including strong summer camp attendance

• A positive image of Scouting in the community

• A troop operation that attracts and retains Boy Scouts

Procedure The chair of the troop committee has the responsibility of nominating the Scoutmaster on behalf of

the patrol leaders’ council and the troop committee.

The nomination is certified by the unit commissioner and forwarded to the local council service center.

The nomination should be approved by the Scout executive and either the council NESA chair or the

council commissioner.

The Scout executive will forward the nomination to the director of the National Eagle Scout Association

at the national office.

Award A full-color certificate will be provided by NESA free of charge. A cost of $1.50 per certificate will be

charged for a certificate with the recipient’s name laser-printed. Payment should accompany the order.

The National Eagle Scout Association will send the certificates to the Scout executive via pouch mail.

Please allow two to four weeks for turnaround time.

A full-color, 6-inch jacket patch, No. 00147, is available through the Supply Division.

A square knot (white on tan) for the uniform, No. 05001, is available through the Supply Division.

Presentations The award may be presented at an appropriate chartered organization or unit function with acknowl-

edgment at a district or council event or at a district or council recognition event.

Note: Nominees may earn the Scoutmaster Award of Merit one time only.
