Trail program?

[vmikee]

Jeep created a program called the Badge of Honor. They have a smartphone app that has 60ish iconic trails from across that country listed. If you visit one of the trails, the smartphone GPS is used to verify you were there and Jeep sends you a hard badge for the trail to use however you like. It's an awesome concept. Several friends and I have done trips across the country specifically to get those Jeep badges. It really helps to enhance the community and create some awesome memories with the vehicle with the hard badge being a permanent reminder of the trip.

They also have community events like the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to bring the community together and get out on trails. Perhaps Scout could create some kind of similar program to encourage owners to get out and use their vehicles or to bring the owner community together for fun events.

There has been a lot of discussion about similar ideas over the past 23-1/2 months and SM seems to be on board and open so I’m sure in time they will announce more. Big discussion had was electronic badges right to your vehicle history so 20years later, even 3rd owner would be able to see where it went. Integrated geo tracking, packages where if you visit 3-4 locations you get a t-shirt for that region or if they build Scoutposts you can stop and get a sticker for said “park”. lots of cool ideas if you spend time digging through some of the long standing threads on the forum.
A national Scout scavenger hunt would be a cool concept.

Awesome, I'll take a look through the forums and see if I can find those threads.

Haha! I bet! I think my wife is getting a bit annoyed that I've been spending hours perusing these forums since I reserved my spot yesterday!

I'd start with searching "OnX", "Trails", and ""Ducks". I believe the Jeep dash ducks started the conversation about digitally sharing something simular to Jeep ducks that didn't take up dash space and I want to say that conversation grew from there. ...but like you said that was a while ago. Memory is a bit foggy.
