Committee, PO Box 2121, Vancouver, WA 98668 SPECIAL RULES * In order for a walk to qualify for a
category (such as Flowers) the sponsoring club must designate the walk for
that category in the Pathfinder, in their brochure, on the WSC website or at
the walk itself. You can check our list of walks on this site (see
links on the left). * Clubs, see
our list of what qualifies for what
categories. * A given
walk may only be stamped under one category even if it is designated for
several. If it is a YRE or seasonal
and you rewalk the event in a different six-month period, you may use the
stamp for another category. You may
never count a given walk again in the same category, even if you walk it in a
different year. * Regular events, YREs or seasonals all
count, including bikes, cross-country skis, swims or other volkssport events,
as long as the event has an official AVA stamp. You must pay for credit for the event and
fill out a start card. * The booklets must be filled with AVA stamps only (no write-ins).
GETTING YOUR STAMPS When you finish a walk or
other volkssport event, you can get stamps in your Town & Trail booklets at the same time as you get your stamps in your regular
AVA Event and Distance booklets. COST Cost of the program is
$8.00 for
each of the four booklets (Nature, Town & Country, Waters and
History). The cost per booklet includes your booklet, postage and your patch award. The cost is paid up front when you
order your booklet. The patch award
will be sent to you when you mail in the completed booklet. The booklet must be mailed in by (or just after) the program end date. No refunds
will be given.
