Venturing Bronze Awards The bronze award is the recognition for the introduction to specific Venturing skills. The bronze award is a campaign style ribbon. For those who aren't familiar, a campaign ribbon is a nylon ribbon with a printed design, affixed to a brass plate. The long edges of the plate are rolled over to form a track, which slides onto a holder bar, which is another brass plate with a pair of pins for attaching it to the uniform. You need a holder bar to wear a bronze award on the uniform. Holder bars are made in sizes to accept one, two, or three bronze awards. Bronze Awards are available for all five areas of Venturing: Click on award for requirements.   Arts & Hobbies   Outdoor   Religious Life   Sea Scout   Sports The process is that as the Venturer completes requirements for the bronze award(s), the Advisor, or consultant (outside expert for the particular task at hand) initials off the requirement in the Venturer's Handbook/Guidebook/Manual. When all of the requirements have been completed, the Advisor then fills out & turns in an Unit Advancement Report to the local Council service center, secures the awards, and presents them, preferably at a ceremony, such as a Court of Honor. They serve as a first step toward the Gold and Silver Awards for all Venturers, plus the Ranger and Quartermaster Awards that are specialized for Outdoor Venturers and Sea Scouts.
