Royal Rangers awards serve to recognize individuals for their accomplishments in the program. Some awards may only be earned by boys, others may only be earned by leaders, while others may be earned by either boys or leaders. Awards may be represented by a medal, patch, ribbon, or neck medallion although all formats are not available for all awards. The following "order of wear" defines the awards that may be worn on the uniforms of boys and adults, as well as the order in which award insignia should be worn. When wearing multiple ribbons on a Royal Rangers uniform, the highest-rated item must be worn on the top left (when viewed from the front).
