It is one of the least-known and least-presented major awards offered by the Boy Scouts of America. But similar to the Eagle Scout medal, it also is highly celebrated&#8211;perhaps more.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the Honor Medal for Lifesaving.<\/p>\n<p>In its various forms, it embodies the Medal of Merit for saving a life, the Honor Medal for doing so at personal risk, and the Honor Medal with crossed palms for extreme personal risk&#8211;all that has made Scouting an honored American icon for over a century. During those decades, a little more than a thousand of the highest medals have been awarded to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, Venturers, Varsity Scouts, and adult volunteers. And every one of those rescues is an unforgettable story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The hardcover:<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=nyoatrader-20&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=0985909773&#038;asins=0985909773&#038;linkId=KRMWBWJ45KOJJLGJ&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Or via Kindle:<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=nyoatrader-20&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B0186AA8XO&#038;asins=B0186AA8XO&#038;linkId=LTPEOKVSW5ETXRXB&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a Christmas Gift for that Scout or Scouter in your life?
