National Explorer Olympics Gold Award

Mint Framed.

National Explorer Olympics Gold Award; The National Explorer Olympics were started in 1970 and occurred every other year at Colorado State University until 1982.

In 1982 it was held at Ohio State University. Not sure where it was held in 1984. In 1985 it was back at Colorado State.

The last event was held in 1986, but am not sure where. Councils were supposed to run local Explorer Olympics, with which they would determine their contingent to the National Explorer Olympics.

After 1986, councils were encouraged to continue to run their own Explorer Olympics, but the National Olympics ended. What little National-level sports competitions existed were held at the National Explorer conferences.
