troops, one traditional and one handi
capped, work together on an
outdoor activity. Since members of
both units will contribute, they
will each earn the same award.
Requirements:
1. Meet all applicable General Requirements.
2. The leaders from each unit
will meet with the Council
Representative (the District
Executive, or key volunteer
associated with special units of the council). At this meeting
they will write a "ticket". This ticket will outline the specific
objectives and responsibilities for each
unit. The guide for this
ticket will be "On My Honor, I Will Do My Best" and the ticket
will be aimed at the abilities of the participants.
3. The two units will perform the activity to meet the objectives
and commitments agreed upon in the ticket.
4. When both units have met the requirements of the ticket, they
will turn in an award application to a High Adventure Team
representative. This application will include the ticket and
supporting information that will show the ticket items have
been completed. The award will be approved when the H.A.T.
Representative is satisfied that both units have completed their
ticket.
5. These SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS shall supersede the Gene
ral Requirements of there is an area of conflict.
OBJECTIVES OF THIS AWARD

earned. It is essential that the handicapped Scout be given the
opportunity to feel the pride of doing his
best. It will also bring a feeling of
pride to the traditional Scout for going
something really worthwhile.
3. This award will also provide a means for the traditional Scout Unit to help their boys meet most of the requirements for
the Handicapped Awareness Merit Badge.
