[edit] U.S. Venturing "Highest" Award
It is a common misperception that the Silver award is the highest award in Venturing. There is not a single highest award in Venturing. Currently, there are five "top-level" awards in the Venturing recognition program - Silver, Ranger, TRUST, Quest, and Quartermaster, depending on a Venturers interest and choice of program. --NThurston 14:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- To clarify - the Venturing program is specifically designed to not be strictly heirarchical. Individuals are encouraged to seek growth opportunities in any area of their choosing. For those who choose outdoors, the Ranger Award is the "top-level" award. Similarly, for those choosing religious life, sports, and sea scouting, the TRUST, Quest, and Quartermaster awards are the top-level awards. Currently, there is no "top-level" award designed specifically for those choosing Arts & Hobbies, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes in the future. The Silver Award is another way that a Venturer can be recognized, but there is no superiority for completing the Silver over any of the other four "top-level" awards. --NThurston 15:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

- I'm not really sure, if the badges you did upload are really the highest ranks of the respective association. Unfortunately you don't give any source for the badge and also any source for the rank. Image:-Austriahighestrank.jpg for example shows the Georgsabzeichen of the Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs: Until 2005 this was the highest rank in the Caravelles/Explorers section but the program was revised. The badge is still available, but AFAIK actually not connected to any special requirements. --jergen 20:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

- What sort of source are you speaking of? They are from my collection, and I labeled them thus. Chris 00:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

- I know that these badges are part of your collection. Perhaps my question was badly formulated: The images need a good description mentioning at least the title of the rank and the association to make the use of the images easier. I'm sure you have these data. Could you please insert it on the images' pages? WP:UPIMAGE#Mini HowTo proposes Template:Information for this purpose. --jergen 08:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
