Bronze Award Device
When you complete the requirements for a particular Bronze Award, you will
earn a Bronze Award device similar to a military campaign ribbon that you
may wear on your uniform. Earning the whole Sea Scouting Quartermaster or
Venturing Ranger Award requires a greater challenge; each has a distinctive
award of its own. For more information on these two challenging awards,
check out the Sea Exploring Manual and the Ranger Guidebook. You can earn
all five Bronze Awards as well as the Quartermaster and Ranger awards.
