Honor Medal
The Honor Medal is presented to Scouts and Scouters shown courage in attempting
to save a life with personal risk. This award has been presented posthumously to
Scouts who have died while attempting to save the life of another. In very exceptional
cases the award is presented with crossed gold palms to Scouts, and Scouters who
have attempted to save a life at great personal risk demonstrating exceptional heroism.
Mike Walton (Settummanque) has prepared a sample Script of a presentation ceremony
for awarding these Medals and/or Certificates.
