Description

These medals have a red, white, and blue ribbon and a medal that can be found in bronze, silver, or gold. The medal is octagonal and has a Scout Logo on the back, which can be seen in the hallmark example below. These medals date to 1928-1932, the pendants are nearly identical to the medals that date to 1933-54, so beware of pendants which are missing the ribbon, which is the way to distinguish between the two.
