Adult and Youth Honours

A passing comment in the recent thread on the swastika symbol triggered the
main part of this question. Incidentally, another place I have seen this
symbol is on the cover of a collection of poems by Rudyard Kipling published
in 1930. I don't have to tell anyone on this list of the link between
Rudyard Kipling and early Scouting. Interesting....

On to the real subject of this post. Scouting in Canada has a number of
honours which we confer on people, youth and adult alike. These are in
recognition of high character and courage, gallantry, meretorious conduct,
and outstanding service. I' ve listed the Canadian awards below. What I
would like to know from my learned friends on scouts-l, is whether these
awards are echoed in your own movements. I'm sure there is a link of some
kind, just as there is a rough equivalent to the Eagle Scout (the Canadian
Chief Scout Award, for example) worldwide.
