Important Update

The Blackhawk Area Council regrets to inform you that the trail hike medals will not be available on time for our event.  We were informed by National Supply that our order was lost due to a personnel change at the manufacturer.  We apologize for the inconvenience that this causes all of us.  We have been told that they will arrive in May and that you should receive them by U.S.P.S. near the end of May. 

1. We ask that all Scouts and leaders that are registered for the Pilgrimage take the hike as usual.Participants should take their completed trail hike form (answer sheet) to the Trail Medal table in front of the Trading Post. (Turner Hall on Bench Street)Workers will mark the completed form to verify completion of the hike.

2. All Scouts and leaders should give their completed / marked trail medal form to the main leader of your unit.The leader should keep the completed trail hike forms to assist in the distribution of the medals when they arrive.This leader should fill out the information below so that we can mail all of the medals to one location for your unit.
