5. Saratoga

6. Minuteman
Muster Call Award - developing
Rifle Caliber:
.22 LR only (award series 1 through 4, above). We are using this
caliber so that there is a standard for earning the awards.
Further, shooting a .22 LR at 100, 200, and 300 yards to earn
these awards is very challenging. The bullet drop is substantial,
and the effect of wind on your shot can be very great. The
experience should be of great assistance in shooting larger
calibers.
Rifle Caliber:
For Award series #6, military calibers will be used (developing).
This Award Series
was incorporated into a Venturing Crew. You can incorporate it
into your own group / club):

Minuteman Muster Call Award

|
Requirements:
participate in match with military style rifles (developing) |
|
|
|
| **
Criteria: Bronze and Silver Oak Leaf Clusters are
common devices placed on many United States military awards and
decorations signifying multiple bestowals of a particular award.
The number of oak leaf clusters indicates the second and
subsequent awards of the decoration. One single oak leaf
cluster, for example, is attached to the designated award and
denotes a second award of that particular decoration. Service
members do not wear more than one service ribbon on their ribbon
rack even when they have received the award more than once.
Instead, multiple awards are shown by attaching the oak leaves
to the ribbon. One single oak leaf denotes the second award of
that particular decoration. Two oak leaves denotes three awards.
Four denote five awards. When the sixth award of a specific
decoration is bestowed on the individual, a single “silver”
bronze oak leaf is placed on the ribbon (as opposed to five
bronze oak leaves). Oak leaves are most commonly employed by the
U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force to denote multiple awards. The U.S.
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard typically employ Gold and
Silver Stars to signify multiple awards. Specific use of these
devices, however, vary between services. |
