- The National Park Service has a special emblem available to Cub
- (scouts) and others. It is their award and may be worn as a temporary
- emblem on the right pocket centered.
-
- The BSA only has TWO Trail Awards, and NEITHER is available for Cub
- Scouts to earn. The Historic Trails Award is an award presented to
- Scouts and Explorers that complete specific requirements. The
- Wilderness Trails Award is a similiar (and discontinued) award for
- Scouts and Explorers.
-
- Check with the Park and see if they can order the emblem for you.
