Milestone
5.0.6.0. Two recognitions exist, and they are not alternatives
Required
The Guide sets these out in two consecutive topics. One is advancement the member had already earned. The other is honorary and depends on no advancement at all. Both may apply to the same young person, or one, or neither.
Notes and warnings
Note. Read both branches before deciding what to do, because the names invite the wrong assumption. A young person who had earned nothing yet is still eligible for the Spirit of the Eagle Award. A young person who had just completed Life rank is eligible for both, and doing one does not discharge the other.
