A Bead a Badge Program Due to COVID-19 this summer will look a little different. We are sad to say that we will not be offering any in-person programs due to safety concerns. We are excited this year to send you on an adventure to become a knight with our reading log and offer STEAM challenges to earn badges. Be sure to check our Facebook page for online activities. A Bead A Badge Program Participants will be divided into three categories by grade (grade promoted to in the fall). Reading Log Procedure ● Summer Reading = 8 weeks or 54 days. ● Minutes include reading or being read to. ● Completing ¾ (30days) qualifies readers for an entry into the grand prize drawings. ● To complete the reading log the participant will need to read for 40 days, which qualifies readers for another entry into the grand prize drawings and the Happily Ever After Badge. ○ Birth - 2nd grade: 20 minutes per day ○ 3rd - 6th grade: 40 minutes per day ○ 7th - 12th: 60 minutes per day Bead Procedure Along the way the participants will earn the following 8 colored beads: 1. yellow - Once Upon a Time 5. purple - Learning Chivalry 2. black - Becoming a Page 6. blue - Attending a Ball 3. green - Ton of Training 7. red - Defending the Realm 4. white - Becoming a Squire 8. pink - Becoming a Knight A bead request form is included in your packet.

Badge Procedure You will be able to earn up to 11 badges this summer. There are pages included for each badge and instructions can be found with the badge portion of this packet. If the participant completes all the badges (excluding the Happily Ever After Badge), they will receive an entry into the grand prize drawings. An envelope is included in this packet, to be used to turn in completed badge challenges and bead requests. We will return this envelope to the participant with the badge or bead earned. Please keep the envelope to reuse. Badges can be displayed with your beads on your necklace or pinned to clothing, like hats or scarves. If you would like a ribbon to display your badge, please let us know. Prizes This year we will be doing grand prize drawings for baskets containing items and services from local businesses. Reading Logs and all other challenges must be turned in by July 24th at 5:00 pm to be considered for the grand prize drawings.

Every day that you read your minutes have a parent mark the day. You got a chain in your packet with a bead on it. The certificate is called Once Upon a Time. You can earn 8 beads and certificates this summer for reading, each bead is for a different part of becoming a knight. The story below will explain what a knight is and how you become one. If you get Bead #7 – Fighting with Your Knight-Master, you will also get an entry into the prize drawing. If you get to Happily Ever After, you will get a badge, and another entry into the prize drawing. The Path to Becoming a Knight Once upon a time, the world was ruled by kings. A king was responsible for his lands and the people in them. This was called a realm. In order to make sure all the people in the realm were safe, the king would train knights to watch his lands and keep the bad guys out. Becoming a knight started at an early age, usually around 10 years old. First they would become a page. They would go to the palace to live, study and train. They would go to school to learn the things you study: reading, writing, history, and geography, but they were also taught battle strategy. Instead of playing sports or skateboarding, they were taught horse- riding, camping and survival, and fighting. They would train with staffs, swords, short bows, long bows, cross-bows and knives. They would also learn to fight without weapons. In addition to going to school and training to fight, they would have a job to do; tending horses, helping in the kitchen or taking messages back and forth. Knights were also supposed to be chivalrous, this meant that they were always supposed to be brave, kind and helpful to others weaker than themselves, gracious (nice) when winning or losing, and loyal to their king, country, friends and family. This also meant that they had to take classes in etiquette (manners and polite behavior). After 3 or 4 years as a page, they would become a squire. As a squire they would do all the things they did as a page, but they would also be picked by a knight to be his helper. When the knight went out to fight, his squire went with him and kept his weapons and armor clean and dry. They would also serve their knight master at banquets (large gatherings of royal or rich people eating to- gether), just like a waiter or waitress serves you in a restaurant. They would also be required to at- tend parties with their knight master where they would be required to dance. They called these par- ties a “ball”. Then, after 3 or 4 years as a squire, they would take a test. If they passed the test, the king would make them a knight. As a squire they would have done some fighting, but when they became a knight they would do a lot more fighting; bad guys, like thieves and bandits, as well as monsters, like trolls and dragons. And they lived happily ever after. .

  • Merits of Invention Edition
    Vol. 7, No. 11 MERITS OF INVENTION EDITION In this Issue: • The Last Inventor • Merit Badge Sashes • Earning Them All • Reinventing the Invention Merit Badge • Thomas Edison and Scouting • Thomas Edison Supernova Award “Build a better mousetrap,” goes an old saying, “and the world will beat a pathway to your door.” That’s all good, unless you happen to be a mouse. Inventing things captures the imagination of young people. Find some tools, boards, pipes, wires, and before long they are nailing, pounding, shaping, bolting, gluing, and imagining what to make next. It’s an impulse Scouting has encouraged since the BSA’s earliest days. THE LAST INVENTOR This year marks a tiny Scouting anniversary. A hundred years ago in 1915, exactly one person earned the Invention merit badge. He was also the tenth and last to receive what has become the BSA’s least-earned award and rarest embroidered patch. Invention was one of the original 57 merit badges listed in the 1911 Boy Scout Handbook. It had just two requirements. Inventing something is one thing. Getting it patented is quite another. To protect an invention from use by others without permission, an inventor must file with the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks and then wait to learn if a patent has been granted. Many early BSA emblems show evidence of being patented. A Scout who did earn the Invention merit badge was Graeme Smallwood of Troop 32, Washington, DC. It was his 38th merit badge. He filed for his patent on October 27, 1914, and received it thirteen months later on the last day of November, 1915.

We can add further that it covers anything that is proper and in good taste. While it’s impossible to cite every rule governing all situations, by applying formal courtesy you will never go wrong in those situations not covered in this booklet. We should always display proper consideration for the office represented by the person. In no way should we let dislike for a person influence our respect for the office he holds.

  • The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England
    The Livery Collar: Politics and Identity in Fifteenth-Century England MATTHEW WARD, SA (Hons), MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy AUGUST 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, lS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ANY MAPS, PAGES, TABLES, FIGURES, GRAPHS OR PHOTOGRAPHS, MISSING FROM THIS DIGITAL COPY, HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY Abstract This study examines the social, cultural and political significance and utility of the livery collar during the fifteenth century, in particular 1450 to 1500, the period associated with the Wars of the Roses in England. References to the item abound in government records, in contemporary chronicles and gentry correspondence, in illuminated manuscripts and, not least, on church monuments. From the fifteenth century the collar was regarded as a potent symbol of royal power and dignity, the artefact associating the recipient with the king. The thesis argues that the collar was a significant aspect of late-medieval visual and material culture, and played a significant function in the construction and articulation of political and other group identities during the period. The thesis seeks to draw out the nuances involved in this process. It explores the not infrequently juxtaposed motives which lay behind the king distributing livery collars, and the motives behind recipients choosing to depict them on their church monuments, and proposes that its interpretation as a symbol of political or dynastic conviction should be re-appraised. After addressing the principal functions and meanings bestowed on the collar, the thesis moves on to examine the item in its various political contexts.

  • United Grand Lodge of England Province of Devonshire Life As a Master Mason
    United Grand Lodge of England Province of Devonshire Life as a Master Mason To the Lodge Mentor It is not intended that this paper be given to a new Master Mason as a whole or on one occasion. Rather it is intended to be given to him in appropriate “chunks” depending on his progress, his available time, his ability to receive it and the questions that he asks. That is a judgement for you and his personal mentor to make. Information overload can only have negative effects. The material should be discussed with him and his questions answered. Our thanks to the Provincial Grand Mentor of Gloucestershire for permission to use much of the core material in this Devonshire version of this document. Anthony Banbury Provincial Grand Mentor August 2015 Being a Master Mason As a new Master Mason it is hoped that you will wish, in a short while, to start on your progression within your Lodge, culminating with your installation as Worshipful Master. To be installed as Worshipful Master of his Lodge, is the pinnacle of a man's Masonic career. But for the moment, you would be well advised to remember the motto of Grand Lodge ‘Audi, Vide, Tace’ meaning ‘Watch, Learn and Listen’ for these are key words not only for newly made masons, but for us all. You should now be in possession of a Book[s] of Ritual and should not be embarrassed to ask your Mentor or, in his absence, more experienced members of the Lodge what passages actually mean, if their meaning is not clear to you.

  • The Purple Heart
    The Purple Heart It is one of the most recognized and respected medals awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces. Introduced as the “Badge of Military Merit” by General George Washington in 1782, the Purple Heart is also the nation’s oldest military award. In military terms, the award had “broken service,” as it was ignored for nearly 150 years until it was re-introduced on February 22, 1932, on the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. The medal’s plain inscription “FOR MILITARY MERIT” barely expresses its significance. --------------------------------- On August 7, 1782, from his headquarters in Newburgh, New York, General George Washington wrote: “The General ever desirous to cherish virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and encourage every species of Military merit, directs that whenever any singularly meritorious action is performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings over the left breast, the figure of a heart in purple cloth, or silk, edged with narrow lace or binding. Not only instances of unusual gallantry, but also of extraordinary fidelity and essential Gen. George Washington’s instructions for service in any way shall meet with a due the Badge of Military Merit reward. Before this favour can be conferred on any man, the particular fact, or facts, on which it is to be grounded must be set forth to the Commander in chief accompanied with certificates from the Commanding officers of the regiment and brigade to which the Candidate for reward belonged, or other incontestable proofs, and upon granting it, the name and regiment of the person with the action so certified are to be enrolled in the book of merit which will be kept at the orderly office.
