BSA Square Knot Evolution and Private Issues

George Crowl put together three very interesting documents: History of Square Knots, Private Issue Square Knots, and Training Award Medals.

His work includes a brief history of the ribbon bars that preceded the square knots and a comprehensive review of square knots covering the types, colors, devices, and associated medals.
