Nationally Approved Historic Trails More than 200 trails have been approved for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Venturers, and family campers. The Boy Scouts of America strongly recommends that hikers use only historic trails that have been nationally approved. Trails that have not been approved often do not meet Scouting standards. Each trail is different. They vary considerably in length, overnight accommodations, markings, terrain, and awards. This type of information is available from the contacts indicated. Hikers should organize themselves so that no more than 12 nor less than 3 hike in one group with proper leadership. Groups with more than 12 members should organize into two or more smaller groups that operate independently along the trail, again with proper leadership in each group. This helps to maintain the backcountry atmosphere for everyone using the trail, offers a better opportunity for observing wildlife, and makes it easier to keep the group together. Large groups tend to become strung out along the trail. Each trail listed has been rated by the trail operator so that prospective hikers may determine the suitability of the trail for each of the various age groups. If 1 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Tiger Cub dens. If 2 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Cub Scouts. If 3 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Boy Scouts. If 4 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Varsity Scouts. If 5 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for Venturers. If 6 appears beside the trail name, the trail is suitable for family campers. If your group has a trail it wishes to have approved, request a copy of Historic Trail Specifications and an application through your local council service center. The application needs approval by the council Scout executive, the region, and the national office to qualify as a nationally approved historic trail.
