PBCampisi 10 Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Does anyone have information on trails or other activites in the New York/Connecticut area? Do these trails/activities offer awards (patches/medals)? Any help would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

eisely 13 Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 Concerning awards, within boy scouts the best source of information is the council High Adventure Team. You need to start with your own council HAT team. They may be able to inform you about awards available from other councils. Link to post Share on other sites
PBCampisi 10 Posted February 13, 2002 Author Share Posted February 13, 2002 Thanks for your help. I will check out the links. As for my District office, they were of no help. Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 High Adventure Teams usually operate at the council level. You said you called your district office. Did you try the council office? Link to post Share on other sites
PBCampisi 10 Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 Sorry for the confusion. The district and council offices are one and the same. When I asked, they asked me to send them whatever I find. I am a 25+ year veteran of BSA, but am new to the current council. I have never experienced the lack of information, mis-information, and breach of trust at the DE level as I am currently seeing. It also appears the Cub Pack is in turmoil (bad leadership resulting in boys dropping out), which is why I am doing everthing I can to help our Den. But, I keep running into roadblocks when seeking information. Any thoughts on any activities (with rewards) that will help keep the boys interested in the program? Link to post Share on other sites
k9gold-scout 10 Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 If you can't get help from your local council go to another council, if still no help try your regional rep. or go direct to National. Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 There is no rule preventing you from coming up with your own awards if you think that will help with motivation. Link to post Share on other sites
