Troop 19

William T. Hornaday Award Progress

Troop 19 has decided to try to earn the William T. Hornaday Award. This award is for distinguished service in natural resources conservation. This is a very special award and has never been earned by any troop in the Inland Northwest Council so far.

The successful attainment of all awards will take at least 18 months to accomplish.

The requirements for this award are as follows:

Earn the Environmental Science merit badge and two more merit badges from the primary conservation and quality-of-the-environment merit badge group. We have decided to earn the Soil and Water Conservation MB and the Energy MB.
Earn at least three merit badges from the nature and conservation group.
Identify, plan and carry out, under the guidance of the conservation adviser, a local project in four of the following project areas: energy conservation; soil and water conservation; fish and wildlife management; forestry and range management; air and water pollution control; resource recovery.
Give leadership to others in undertaking conservation projects and influencing them to understand conservation objectives.
Submit a resume covering a summary of the local or regional project in the conservation and quality-of-the-environment fields together with a summary of the efforts to influence other people to practice conservation.

The complete program of the applicant, as planned and carried out, will be reviewed and approved by the council for the award of the certificate or badge or both and, further, if deemed qualified, will be recommended to the William T. Hornaday Awards Committee for consideration for the silver or bronze medals.
