Mike Bowman (Professor Beaver) gave us all some great information from
the Insignia Guide relating to several of the issues we've been discussing
here. I wanted to add some comments to two of the items below:
>HORNADAY AWARD
>
>The requirements for this award require the Scout to have earned several
>merit badges. As a result this award is not one which can be earned by a
>Cub Scout. See 1995-1997 Boy Scout Requirements, No. 33218
The actual application states the award may be earned by a Den, Patrol,
Crew or Squad; individual Cub Scouts cannot earn the award but members
of the "group" which does earn the award can wear the bar pin in the
place prescribed for square knots. Now that the square knot is available,
those group members could *perhaps* wear the square knot instead of
losing the bar pin.

The West Fellowship was designed for adults that chose to contribute to
a local Council's fund and "wanted something in return". I personally
don't have any qualms about a youth member raising the money for the
Award, and the local Council allowing him to wear the square knot, but
again, remember that the square knots were primarily designed for adult
wear since we cannot wear youth-related awards.
