The purpose of the Historic Trails Award is to bring appreciation to the ideals, principles, and traditions that have made our country strong; requirements emphasize cooperation between historic societies and Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Venturing crews, and Sea Scout ships, which should establish a close relationship with a local society as soon as possible when planning a historic activity—most communities have such societies.
The Historic Trails Award may be earned by youth and adult members of a Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Venturing crew, or Sea Scout ship for hiking a trail listed in Nationally Approved Historic Trails and completing a project related to the trail.
