INSIGNE
AUREUM SANCTI GEORGII
PRO
CHRISTO ET URBE
The
Insigne Aureum Sancti Georgii for Christo et Urbe (Gold Saint George
Medal/Award for Christ and the World) is for adult leaders in
Scouting programs, and it is intended to be given to those adults who
give exceptional service to both scouting and the Faith on an
international level.
There is
not a set list of requirements to complete for this award as there is
for the youth awards. Rather, the merit of each nomination is
carefully considered based on a specific meritorious act or the
totality of service to God, Scouting, and humanity on an
international basis. The award (see example on left) is worn on a
neck ribbon. Some Scouting organizations also have generic badges
that may be worn to represent receipt of an adult religious emblem.
The Gold
Saint George medal may be given to those of other branches of the
Christian Faith, particularly those of Catholic tradition, as well as
to those not in Boy Scouting who demonstrate significant leadership
and service to God and country on an international level.
The award
is given only by approval of the Patriarch of the Anglican Rite Roman
Catholic Church upon recommendation of the Patriarchal Council for
International Scouts and Guides. Application may not be made for the
award. Rather, nominations are made a committee selected for the purpose. |
