Old Hornaday Award

[Mr. Boyce 13]

If you had someone who had fulfilled all the requirements for the Hornaday Award, but didn't fill out the paperwork, is it possible to file years later, a much later date, for the award?

As my attorney says, "It depends. That will be $400 please."

 

I know Eagle Scouts have been awarded decades after the requirements were met. Part of that depends on whether or not the failing was the Scout's or the troop's. In the couple cases I'm aware of, the Scout joined the military and never completed the application, in the other the troop folded before the Scout could complete the BOR.

 

It would be worth a phone call the the council advancement chairman.

[Mr. Boyce 13]

$400! For that I expect GOLD!

 

Nah. . . kidding.

 

Say, anyone else with a weird, decades later, experience?

I've never hear of the Hornaday Award - what is it? how is it earned?
