Heroism Award
The Heroism Award is presented to Scouts and Scouters that have saved a life
at little or no personal risk. In the past, those persons would receive a Certificate
of Heroism from the local Council. Today, those previous holders of Certificates
of Heroism as well as present Scouts, Explorers or Scouters are honored with the
present Medal.
Mike Walton (Settummanque) has prepared a sample Script of a presentation ceremony
for awarding these Medals and/or Certificates.
