THE 90TH ANNIVERSARY OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Coleman Lights 90 New Trails to High Adventure
Lodge Administration Instructions
Project Description
The Coleman Company, in celebration of
the BSA's 90th anniversary and in an effort to
continue its strong relationship with Scouting,
has committed to help fund the program fees for 90
Scouts from throughout America to attend a
high-adventure experience in the year 2000.
Recipients of the 90th Anniversary Outdoor
Adventureships will receive up to $375 to be
applied toward the outdoor experience of their
choosing. This may include Philmont Scout Ranch,
the Northern Tier National High Adventure Program,
the Florida Sea Base, a local council
high-adventure program or Scout camp, or a unit
high-adventure activity -- any Boy Scout supported
outdoor experience.
Order of the Arrow youth leadership
will coordinate the selection of Scouts at the troop,
team, council, and national levels. Unit youth
leadership (the patrol leaders' council) will nominate
one Scout, which the unit will then forward
to the local council service center for pooling a lodge
nominee. This lodge nominee will be forwarded
to the national selection committee, composed of
the 1999 national OA officers, for selection of
the 90 recipients. These recipients shall receive
Adventureships to attend an outdoor experience.
They will be notified in writing by January 10,
2000. All troop and team nominees will receive
recognition from the Coleman Company.
