"The Silver Wolf." — The Red Indians of North America call their best scout "Gray Wolf", because the gray wolf is a beast that sees everything and yet is never seen, and is brave and untiring.
Mr. E. Thompson Seton, of the Boy Scouts in America, is called "Black Wolf".
And the fighting tribes in South Africa in the same way speak of a scout as a wolf.
So in the Boy Scouts a special badge and title of "Silver Wolf" will be given as a reward for very special distinction in scouting. See ante, Badges of Merit.
All medals and badges are only worn as above when scouts are on duty or in camp. At other times they should be worn on the right breast of the waistcoat, underneath the jacket.
A small arrow-head badge may be worn at all times in the button-hole.
Scoutmasters can wear any badges for which they qualify.
They do not wear first-class scout badges, as it is understood by their rank that they are scouts.
It should be noted that the rules given in this book are generally intended to apply to units of Boy Scouts which do not belong to existing organizations. Where scouting is taken up by any society, such, for instance, as the Boys' Brigade, that society takes up as much or as little as it likes of the training. Its own officers will be considered to be scoutmasters without further recommendation, and the boys who take up scouting keep to the uniform of their corps, and do not wear Boy Scout uniform or badges unless their officers permit it.
If it is desired that such boys should wear scouts' uniform, the officers will be expected to work in conjunction with the local Boy Scout Committee; and if the officers wish for scoutmaster warrants or the boys to wear the scouts' badges, life-saving medals, or badges of merit, they must pass the same tests as other scoutmasters or boy scouts.
Distinction for Boy Scouts. — A boy scout when signing his name officially to any letter or document on scout business is entitled to put after his signature any distinctions which he may have gained, by drawing a small sketch of the badge.
