in their communities by the annual award of
the Society's Bronze (high school) or Sil-
ver (college) medal and certificate. These
medals are available from National Society
headquarters in Louisville, Ky. We have an
oration contest each year for high school
students where winners advance from chapter

at each level receiving prizes or scholarsh-

new Eagle Scouts to write a short essay.
These are judged locally and at the state
level and each state winner advances to the
national competition at the national annual
meeting. Winners receive substantial schol-
arships. We also have a new poster contest
at the local and state level designed for
elementary level school students. The
