Ummm, no. (from CD's link)Originally Posted by hotshot
The 100 Degrees of Frost Award is presented to the Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Venturer, or adult leader who "earns" 100 or more below freezing points annually between October 1st and May 30th. One point is awarded for each degree below freezing recorded during a campout. The degree of temperature is determined by the "official" weather bureau station nearest the campsite; however, a leader's thermometer reading will be accepted. Points may be carried over for up to one season.
Example:
Campout #1 ... low of 7 degrees = 25 points
Campout #2 ... low of 15 degrees = 17 points
Campout #3 ... low of -2 degrees = 34 points
Campout #4 ... low of 5 degrees = 27 points
Total = 103 points (100 required for the badge)
In the above example, the requirement would be met after just two weekends (four nights total) of camping. 'Course, using your example, they could earn it after ONE night ... IF they survived it!
I'd have had a heck of a time earning that badge in MY scouting days!
