SECTION 1 - GENERAL

0501. AUTHORITY FOR WEAR
1. The Queen’s Regulations for the Royal Navy, BR3 Naval Personnel Management and JSP 761 Honours and Awards in the Armed Forces govern the wearing of orders, decorations and medals on naval uniforms. The following instructions are a summary of those regulations in the context of SCC personnel.
2. It is forbidden to wear any orders, decorations or medals without authority. Foreign orders, decorations and medals may be worn only when the Sovereign’s permission has been given. This may be sought by application to the Captain Sea Cadets
0502. TERMS OF ISSUE
1. The insignia of orders, decorations and medals and the ribbons to which they are attached are issued gratuitously on presentation.
2. Brooches for medals and medal ribbons are available from military tailors and similar suppliers. All SCC personnel purchase these items as required at their own expense and arrange for the mounting of medals privately.
3. Replacement brooches and ribbons are purchased as required.
4. Miniatures, ribbons and brooches for miniature medals and ribbons are not provided but may be purchased privately at the individual’s expense.
0503. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE
Orders, decorations, medals and medal ribbons are to be worn arranged in the order of sequence (or seniority), a reduced summary of which is shown in Annex I. The number of each type of insignia of orders which may be worn with various dresses is shown in the Table of Dresses (Chapter 3 Annex A (SCC), Chapter 4 Annex A (RMC)). Guidance for orders, decorations and medals not listed should be sought from MSSCHQ.
0504. MEDALS (INCLUDING BADGES OF THE 4TH AND 5TH CLASSES OF ORDERS AND DECORATIONS WORN AS MEDALS)
1. Medals, suspended from their ribbons, are to be worn on the left breast in one line, with the highest in seniority at the end furthest from the shoulder. Medals awarded by a society for bravery in saving human life, if specially authorised to be worn, are to be worn on the right breast, similarly to those on the left and on the same horizontal line. All medals are worn obverse outwards, i.e. with the head of the Sovereign showing.
2. The ribbons are to be suspended from a bar, which they must completely cover, without gaps. The bar should be disposed centrally in the space available, without projecting outward beyond the shoulder or inward beyond the opening of the coat, or beyond the centre of a tunic or coat without opening. When the medals are too many to be suspended from the bar so as to be fully seen, they are to overlap, the most senior showing in full. In the case of Warrant Officers, Senior Rates and SNCOs below officer, medals should, however, overlap when ever three or more are worn, the length of the bar to be 95mm for three medals up to a maximum of 171mm for larger numbers.
3. The bar should be of the brooch type, with the pin inserted through beckets sewn to the garment. It may, if necessary, come over the lapel of the garment, except when a rifle is carried, when the bar should be under the lapel, as a protection for the medals.
4. The medal bar is worn immediately above the top row of medal ribbons if sewn to the garment, or in the same position, and using the same beckets, as the top row of detachable ribbons if not.
5 – 2
ASCR 2 – 2011 EDITION ORDERS & DECORATIONS, MEDALS & MEDAL RIBBONS
©The Marine Society and Sea Cadets May 2011
5. The length of medal ribbons for medals of normal size is to be 44mm. When two or more medals are worn, the length of ribbons of medals of other than normal size should be adjusted so that the lowest points of the medals are all in line. A 44mm medal ribbon will accommodate four clasps or bars: if more than four are worn the length of ribbon should be adjusted as necessary, leaving 13mm clear ribbon above the top clasp/bar.
6. When medals are worn with garments on which medal ribbons are sewn, care must be taken that the ribbons are completely covered. If necessary a piece of material can be attached to the medal bar for this purpose.
7. Medals may be worn loose or court mounted by all SCC Officers, Warrant Officers, Senior Rates and SNCOs irrespective of number. For court mounting, the ribbons are mounted on a frame of which the lower edge is in line with the centre of the medals. Commencing from the lower edge of the frame each ribbon runs over the upper edge and down to the ring of the medal. The medals are stitched down to the ribbons. Where more than one has been awarded, the ribbons are to be suspended from a bar, which should be of the brooch type, with the pin inserted through beckets sewn to the garment. All medal mounting for SCC personnel is arranged privately at the individual’s own expense.
0505. MINIATURE MEDALS
1. These are half the size of the insignia which they represent and on ribands 29mm long, are worn in the same manner as full-sized medals.
2. Miniature medals are worn with number 2A/2B Mess Dress/Undress on the lapel of the mess jacket. They may extend over the lapel towards the shoulder but not beyond the lapel on the inner side. The position on RMC Officers/WOs/SNCOs mess jackets is: 19mm below the Globe and laurel badge.
0506. MEDAL RIBBONS
1. When ribbons are worn apart from the orders, decorations and medals themselves a ribbon is worn for each medal, etc. The ribbon is the same for all classes of an order. The ribbon is to be worn from the date of the official notification of the award.
2. Length of ribbons to be worn: SCC, and personnel - 13mm, but with more than five rows ribbons 10mm long may be worn. RMC - 10mm all cases.
3. The width of the ribbon is to be that of the ribbon attached to the order, decoration or medal itself. For orders, the width is that of the ribbon of the lowest class. The normal width in each case is 32mm.
4. The ribbons can be sewn on the garments or mounted on a detachable, brooch-type bar similar to the medal bar is to be used, with the pin inserted through beckets sewn in the correct positions. The ribbons are to be arranged in one or more rows as required, without either gaps or overlapping, in order of seniority as for medals, starting at the inside end of the top or only row. The rows should be 6mm apart for officers and Marines and 3mm for others, but officers and Marines may reduce the distance apart if necessary to accommodate a large number. The ribbons of orders, decorations and medals for which only private permission to wear has been given are not to be sewn on the garments.
Clasps may be awarded for service subsequent to the award of the medal. They are cupro-nickel and are to be sewn on to the ribbon by which the medal is suspended. Rose emblems denoting additional service subsequent to the award of each clasp are attached to the ribbon when the ribbon alone is worn. To denote service beyond the award of three clasps (three silver roses) the following are to be worn:
