When we became a nation in 1776, the buffaloes, the first animals to vanish when the wilderness is settled, roved to the crests of the mountains which mark the western boundaries of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. They were plentiful in what are now the States of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

They furnished all the means of livelihood to the tribes of Horse Indians, and to the curious population of French Metis, or Half-breeds, on the Red River, as well as to those dauntless and archtypical wanderers, the white hunters and trappers. Their numbers slowly diminished, but the decrease was very gradual until after the Civil War. They were not destroyed by the settlers, but by the railways and the skin hunters. After the ending of the Civil War, the work of constructing trans-continental railway lines was pushed forward with the utmost vigor. These supplied cheap and indispensable, but hitherto wholly lacking, means of transportation to the hunters; and at the same time the demand for buffalo robes and hides became very great, while the enormous numbers of the beasts, and the comparative ease with which they were slaughtered, attracted throngs of adventurers.

It is my honor and privilege to applaud the achievements of the recipients of the 2019 Congressional Award Gold Medal. These outstanding 538 young Americans have challenged themselves and made lasting contributions to local communities across this great nation. This is our largest class of Gold Medalists to date! The Gold Medal Ceremony is the culmination of a long journey for our awardees. For each participant the journey was unique, but one that likely included many highs and lows. The Congressional Award program was designed to instill a wide range of life skills and attributes that are necessary to navigate and overcome obstacles on the path to success - both in the classroom and beyond. And now that each young person has met these challenges and attained their goals, we hope they will continue to amaze and inspire us by pursuing their passions, utilizing their talents, and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to extend our great appreciation to our partner organizations and sponsors for their continued support.

    GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.
