4.4.1.7. Present informally first, so recognition is prompt
Recommended Often forgotten
As in any Scouting America program it is important that Sea Scouts receive prompt recognition, so it may be a good idea to present awards informally at a ship meeting first and then again, more formally, at the next bridge of honour.
Notes and warnings
Tip. The Guide's own suggestion, and it solves a real problem. A bridge of honour is worth planning properly, which means it is not frequent. Presenting informally at a ship meeting first keeps recognition prompt without making the formal event less of an occasion.
