Medals are worn on the right breast, and are as follows:
Bronze medal with red ribbon: For gallantry in saving life, or attempting to save life at risk of own life.
Silver medal with red ribbon: For saving and helping to save life without risk of own life, but where life might have been lost.
Silver medal with blue ribbon: Meritorious service, or assisting police at personal risk.
These are only granted by the chief scout on special recommendation from the patrol leader or scout master, who should send in a full account of the case when applying.
Marks are awarded by scout masters, from their own knowledge or on recommendation of patrol leaders, or as marks for competition.
Two marks are given to any scout who brings a recruit whom he has already taught to tie the regulation knots. Such recruit must be in addition to the one who enabled him to qualify for his scout's badge.
"The Wolf."—The Red Indians of North America call their best scout "Grey Wolf," because the grey wolf is a beast that sees everything and yet is never seen.
And the fighting tribes in South Africa in the same way speak of a scout as a wolf.
In the Matabele War, 1896-1897, the enemy called me "The Wolf" for that reason.
