The Senior Scout EmblemThe Senior Scout Medallion represents all that Senior Scouting stands for. The red double letter S embossed in a field of gold and represented as a winding road leading to the distant horizon symbolizes the exciting outdoor trails of life which a Senior Scout must take in an adventure-filled journey to good citizenship. The golden field upon which the double letter S is lain symbolizes those golden values that every Senior Scout must strive to possess as he goes through life. The trefoil on the emblem reminds him that, as a Senior Scout, he belongs to a worldwide brotherhood of young people committed to a life of selfless service to God, Country, and Fellowmen.
The double S also represents the three sections of the Senior Scout program. It symbolizes the pathways travelled by Land Scouts as they wind their way through the woods. It also symbolize the red sails of sailboats that flaps in the wind as Sea Scouts go into an adventurous voyage along the coast. So, too, does it symbolize the flight curvature of spaceships hurling into infinity as Air Scouts set their sights on a highly challenging odyssey into the future. The double S is represented in red for the courageous spirit that Senior Scouts must exemplify on their joyful journey to a better life. The Senior Scout Emblem is worn on the right sleeve of the Senior Scout Type A uniform. |
