The National Park Service has a special emblem available to Cub
(scouts) and others. It is their award and may be worn as a temporary
emblem on the right pocket centered. 

The BSA only has TWO Trail Awards, and NEITHER is available for Cub
Scouts to earn. The Historic Trails Award is an award presented to
Scouts and Explorers that complete specific requirements. The
Wilderness Trails Award is a similiar (and discontinued) award for
Scouts and Explorers. 

Check with the Park and see if they can order the emblem for you.

The local Scout Shop only carries BSA items.
