Is there a replacement/updated award?

@Amanda - No.

@Amanda - Some Councils will still allow a boy to earn the award. Here is the basis:
Traditionally when an award is retired, the Scout shop will still have remaining awards (Note: The award is the same for cubs, scouts, venture). This means that the Scout shop still has a running supply until the award is changed again.
The second part to this is that the awards were retired with the understanding that the new core replaced the need for the award, however, about 6-9 months later, they then dismantled a good portion of the core to remove the OE portion.
If you're really interested in having boys earn the award, consult your Outdoore Ethics Advocate (usually Council level is best). They should have the ear of the Council Executive, who could then allow for it.
An even better idea, is to work with your Council Advocate on trying to make an award specific to your council and having the boys design the patch themselves, get it approved, and have an award that truly has meaning to Outdoor Ethics, your community, and to your boys (girls now as well).
