Club Information
If
you are part of a volkssport club in the state of Washington, here’s
how you can contribute to (and
benefit from) the
Washington State Challenge:
For the new Town & Trail program:
The
Town &
Trail program asks walkers to collect stamps from events related
to certain themes (such as ‘Flowers’ or ‘Museums’).
Each club chooses the category or categories
for which their events qualify. For example, a club whose walk follows
a named trail in a state park may qualify for both the Trail and
the Park categories. In this instance a club would identify that
the event qualifies for both a Park and a Trail, although credit
walkers may apply the stamp to only one category (their choice).
Only designate the categories that are going to be active during
the year your event takes place (each themed booklet runs for three
years).
Also, please send us a list of your YREs
and what they qualify for and we will put them on this site!!!
The
specific guidelines are:
All Clubs
