The granting of Awards to members of the Association is
regulated by the Constitution of the Association that provides, at Bye-Law VIII
(Scout Awards) for the setting up an Awards Sub-committee and sets out the rules and regulations in accordance
with which such Awards may be granted.
The Constitution provides for the granting of the following Awards to uniformed members of the Association :
- Awards for Gallantry :
- Awards for Gallantry may be granted to individual members, Groups or
Sections of the Association who
- (i) in an emergency show presence of mind and with little or no
regard for personal safety, act with vigour and determination to go to the
assistance of others to save life, or to alleviate the sufferings of
others in such emergencies, or who
- (ii) in normal times perform an act, or a series of acts, of
exceptionally meritorious service to the community, or to another person
or persons in need of help.
-
- One of the following Awards may be granted according to the circumstances
of the case :

in the face of extraordinary risk.
- The Gilt Cross - granted for special heroism in the face of
considerable risk.
- The Chief Scout's Commendation for Gallantry - granted in
circumstances involving moderate risk which does not justify the award of
a Cross or Bar.
- Bars to the above mentioned awards may be granted for additional acts of gallantry.
-
- Award for Meritorious Conduct
- The Medal for Meritorious Conduct - granted to members of the Association
who may not have been involved in risk of life, but who, through their exemplary
