You paddled the 61.6 miles. You faced the Atchafalaya wilderness. You summited the levee. You have conquered the swamp! And now, you want to share your experience and accomplishment with others, but “Oh no!”, you have lost your Trek Award Patch! Whatever will you do?
We all know how meaningful and important the Trek Award Patch is (if you forgot, check out the previous post about the patch meaning). Fear not, you can receive a replacement patch.
To request a replacement patch, send in an email to ava.thibodeaux@scouting.org. In the email, please include your trek number, name, mailing address and a write up about what your Swamp Base trek experience means to you.
Remember, the Trek Award Patch cannot be bought, sold, or traded… only earned!
If the alligator tooth is destroyed or lost, you may also request a tooth replacement the same way!
