@mylo_cat and others, what would a fair price be, now that this is a collector's item? My son is home from college, and may part with his. He is not as "attached" to Scouting as I am. -

Ebay, or Scouting memorabilia shop. Good luck finding one. It may take you 30 years to find one you can afford. -
Thanks — I did read prior threads, both now and also at the time that the program was discontinued. I'm specifically hoping someone has an idea about where I can get the actual, physical award; maybe in your local Scout Shop or maybe your troop has extras on hand. And thank you for the welcome! I've enjoyed reading the forums here for years. As a parent of Life and Eagle Scouts and a Scoutmaster of 4 years, I've learned a lot from you folks and hope to continue. -

@mylo_cat welcome to scouter.com Previous similar topic thread. -
To my delight, one of the young women in my troop has earned the National Medal for Outdoor Achievement. I am now looking for help in obtaining the actual physical award. By way of background, this award was quietly discontinued in late 2024 and this change was announced in January 2025. Because we had a Scout who was well on her way to earning it, we contacted Scouting America and were told: "We understand that some Scouts may have been actively working toward the National Medal of Outdoor Achievement prior to its discontinuation. If a Scout has already begun the process for this award prior to December 31, 2024, they will have until December 31, 2025, to complete it. Scouting America Outfitters (formerly known as National Supply) will keep the medal available for order until December 31, 2025, although it will be listed as discontinued. The SKU for the medal is 662983." Unfortunately, we are now unable to source the medal. Our local Scout shop has none in stock and the Scouting America Outfitters (National Supply) also has none. There aren't any available on eBay. We want to recognize our Scout's remarkable achievement (all the more remarkable because she worked very hard to complete all the remaining requirements in a compressed time frame; she's 16). If we can't source the medal, we'll come up with something meaningful — but I am hoping perhaps a redditor has a local Scout shop that still has them in stock, or perhaps an extra in their possession they would be willing to sell. Thank you for helping up recognize our Scout's hard work and commitment to putting the "outing" in "Scouting"! (She is now planning her Eagle project so that it can fulfil part of the requirements for the Distinguished Conservation Service Award).
