Camping nights awards?

Hi All,

I know that this is not a TM-specific question, but I know that there is
a lot of expertise on this list, and many of you are very willing to
share your opinions!

I am responsible for keeping track of nights camped for our scouts, as
well as for the adults in the troop.  We present awards at 25 nights, 50
nights, etc.  The nights must be under the stars or in tents.

We also allow new Scouts to include nights camped as Webelos Scouts, but
not Cub Scouts.

This is the way we do it, and I have always taken guidance from our
existing leadership.  My questions to you all are:
- is this standard BSA policy?
- is this the way other troops handle this?
- is there a national policy?  I looked but could not find anything...
- do others include Webelos camping?
- do others include Cub camping?

Thanks!
Jim
