[edit] Date created

I can't find a reference for when the award was created. Anyone know? Johntex\^talk 03:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patch

Yes, the yellow patch is obsolete, but I love it and despise the new one, which I find totally ugly. So, let's stick with the yellow one-;) Rlevse 11:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

As an award, it should be in caps. Although gramatically correct, there is no hyphen.--Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC) I stand corrected per the LoS .--Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:41, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other notes

The award may also be earned by cycling and horseback. The new patch shows this by inclusion of a bicycle wheel and horseshoe. Also, not sure the reason for the repetition about 'provisional units'. ALL scouts are members of chartered units. Provisional units are meaningless in regards to this award. --Emb021 19:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
