[edit] Details

Working to clarify the founding date of 1954 vs. 1968. --Jdurbach 17:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

So- is this a BSA award or a DOJ award that the BSA promotes? Do you have a reference for the DOJ? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 17:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
According to Mike Walton, the DOJ started it in 1954 and the BSA took it over in 1966. [1] Here are some answers. [2] --Gadget850 ( Ed) 19:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Walton also states that YAA recipients can wear the Silver Award knot. [3] --Gadget850 ( Ed) 19:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the photo in Scouting, the national medal is silver. [4] --Gadget850 ( Ed) 11:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

  • Better image- all the photos show this as a silver medal suspended from a ribbon
  • Information on knot
