It's been suggested in a couple of the Venturing threads, but not as a seperate idea for individual consideration. Yes, you can order a black market knot to recognize this accomplishment, but I would like to see this added as an officially recognized knot.

Sorry, but this is not Girl Scouts.

If we did that then it would only be fair to create a BSA patch for the highest Scouting rank in every branch of the World Scouting Organization, which is an interesting idea.

I like Jeff's idea about a knot for those who earned the highest award in any of the WAGGGS or WOSM organizations around the world. That might be a great way to promote the bortherhood and sisterhood of Scouting and recognize more of our adults and Venturing youth for their Scouting acomplishments.

According to the Insignia Guide, "female Venturers who have earned the Girl Scout Gold Award may wear the badge on their Venturing uniform shirt's left pocket".

It would be a great idea to have one square knot to recognize a Venturer, Sea Scout, or Scouter who has earned the highest youth award in Girl Scouts USA, Girl Guides, CampFire USA, Boy Scouts in other countries, etc. (for example Queen Scout in Canada or UK).

Having such a recognition would validate and honor the experience of BSA Scouters raised in other countries. It would be also be a small incentive to recognize US Girl Scouts and CampFire members who join Venturing or Sea Scouting.

The recognition should be a single square knot to cover all circumstances. This is the process already in place for the Youth Religious Emblem square knot, Adult Religius Emblem square knot, and Community Organization Service Award.

It might be tricky to compile the list of approved organizations/honors, but the idea of a broader knot similar to the religious knots and the community organization knot is an improvement.

I like the idea of a single knot to recognize accomplishments in organizations other than BSA, analogous to the community organization knot.

I like the idea of a single knot to cover all.
