Hornaday Award Description: Badge is either Gold, Silver or Bronze, with a beaver on the wearer's right, a flying bird making the top part of the bar, and a large fish making the left side of the bar. In the center is a wilderness scene above a small bar with the lettering "BSA" and below this, on the Silver and Bronze Awards, the lettering "William T. Hornaday Award". The square knot is made up of green, white and blue strands intertwined as one rope. Ends showing blue tips are worn to wearer's right. Worn by: Boy/Varsity Scouts, Male and Female Venturers, Male and Female Scouters The William T. Hornaday Award recognizes Scouts, Venturers and Scouters for their service to conservation and ecology efforts in their communities. Prior award holders only earned a gold version of the Silver Award medal, and were instructed to wear the Badge in the same manner and location as other square knots. Present Bronze and Silver Medalists now wear the square knot; present Gold Medallion holders may wear the Gold Badge or the square knot; and those whom have earned the Badge as a group (Den, Patrol, Crew or Squad), may wear the Badge. To earn the Hornaday Award as an individual, youth members must earn a series of merit badges followed by a concentrated series of conservation and/or environmental education projects to be conducted in the member's community or nearby, under the advisement of a trained conservation, naturalist, or environmental engineering expert. The present adult Gold Award is nominative in nature, and extends over at least a ten-year span of working in or with conservation or environmental education/reclamation efforts in the community, state or nation. Bronze and Silver Awards are Rare. Gold Awards are Very Rare. The William T. Hornaday Gold Medal is presented to an adult Scouter for unusual and distinguished service in natural resource conservation and environmental improvement at the regional, national, or international level during a period of at least twenty years. 5 KNOT DEVICES When an award is given to a Scout or Scouter that also has a related square knot, the knot may be worn by itself on the uniform or with one of the devices depicted above to indicate the program phase where the award was earned. For example, a Unit Commissioner that earns the Commissioner Key (same knot as the Scouter Key) would wear the Commissioner device. If a Scout or Scouter earns a subsequent award represented by the same knot, the Scout or Scouter should wear a device for each program phase where the knot was earned (you do not wear multiple issues of the same knot). In particular, a Scout that earns a sequence of religious emblems would wear ONE universal religious emblem knot and up to four devices, as described below. Wear the CUB SCOUT device for the first level emblem (God & Me, Maccabee, etc.) earned as a Tiger Cub or Cub Scout; Wear the WEBELOS SCOUT device for the second level emblem (God & Family, Parvuli Dei, Aleph, etc.) earned as a Cub Scout or Webelos Scout; Wear the BOY SCOUT device for the first level emblem (God & Church, Ad Altare Dei, Ner Tamid, etc.) earned as a Boy Scout; Wear the VENTURING device for the second level emblem (God & Life, Pope Pius XII, Etz Chaim, etc.) earned as an older Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Sea Scout, or Venturer. Note that Webelos Scout and Venturing devices are used to designate the second level emblems described above, EVEN IF the boy isn't a Webelos Scout and/or Venturer when the member earns the appropriate religious emblem. There are two additional devices, shown above, that are worn on the James West Fellowship Knot, to recognize major donors, the 1910 Society pin and the Founders Circle pin. Those devices and the qualifications for them can be seen on the page that describes the James West Fellowship Knot, by clicking here. There is also a special device for the Third level Philmont Training Center Masters Award.
