Talk:50-Miler Award

Date created
I can't find a reference for when the award was created. Anyone know? Johntex\talk 03:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Patch
Yes, the yellow patch is obsolete, but I love it and despise the new one, which I find totally ugly. So, let's stick with the yellow one-;) Rlevse 11:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I just noted that the new BSA requirements pages are using the old patch. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 16:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Name
As an award, it should be in caps. Although gramatically correct, there is no hyphen. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC) I stand corrected per the LoS .--Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Other notes
The award may also be earned by cycling and horseback. The new patch shows this by inclusion of a bicycle wheel and horseshoe. Also, not sure the reason for the repetition about 'provisional units'. ALL scouts are members of chartered units. Provisional units are meaningless in regards to this award. --Emb021 19:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Re-write / improvements
I just did a re-write to make this more concise. There really is not much more to add on the requirements. Some suggested improvements:


 * A new section on the impact of the 50-Miler on Scouts
 * Opinions on the new patch; this must have references
 * History- when this was created
 * The 50-Miler is in the 6th edition of the Boy Scout Handbook (1962) but not the 5th (1955).
