ScoutStrong PALA Award

Any Scout or Scouter can earn the ScoutStrong Presidential Active Lifestyle Award by being active for a short time every day for six weeks. The goal is to promote ongoing physical fitness and health through regular, simple activity.
While hiking the Arizona Trail, I racked up a lot of hours of activity and earned my PALA.
40 people took the challenge and I selected the random prize winners for this challenge:
- $25 ScoutShop gift card - bdm479 and Ira M.
- Stick Pic - Trenton M. and Chuck P.
- Campfire Dragon - Tracy M. and Jennifer P.
- Whittler Bob knife - Ian Z. and Jim M.
After my Superior Hiking Trail trek in September, 2012, I selected the random prize winner for this challenge:
- $25 ScoutShop gift card - Sarah J.
Once you complete the ScoutStrong PALA requirements, you can get a special patch at your Scout Shop and you can get one from the President's Challenge. See ScoutStrong Overview PDF file.

I have to tell you, I have used your website for 6 years now, your knowledge is so powerful not only does it help the boys but us as leaders also. Pages like this and the Webelos test pages etc are a ton of fun for the boys. I have relly enjoyed this resources you offer.
Thank you and enjoy your Trip in Az.

I was very excited to see your ScoutStrong challenge on the NSC website. Thanks for promoting fitness to our scouts and scouters. Your name had been mentioned to me earlier by Heidi Groven as a possible resource for our PowderHorn course Aug 1-5. When are you hiking the IceAge Trail in August? If the timing works would you have time on Sunday Aug 5 to talk about your long distance hiking at base Camp. We are closing out our course there and will be hosting a high adventure fair open to all of NSC scouts/scouters that day. Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in
