The Centenial Hiking Award
We are all becoming more aware about our need to be more physically fit. Most of the suggestions for how we can bring a fitness theme to scouting are one-time events like fitness themed camporees, or short term events like merit badges.

For the last 4 months I have forced an hour of my day to be devoted to fitness. Most days I walk (2-4 miles). I figure I'm walking about 45 - 55 miles a month. I have lost 55lbs since I started.

I propose that we create an award to recognize youth, volunteers and staff for walking 100 miles in our centennial year. We could develop a little tracking card and a place to mail it in with fees for a patch.

There was a 75th anniversary Hiker patch, I earned it as a kid but I don't remember what the requirements were. Maybe we could recycle that program.
