Galilean Awards and Sashes In the Galilean program several items have been produced to be used as awards for the boys as they progress through the program. 1. Pins/Bars Pins and bars have been designed for the Galilean program. The Galilean Fish Pin - This is a 1" basic pin the shape of a fish. This pin is presented to each boy who becomes a member of the Galilean program. Tyro Pin - This is a 1 1/4" oval pin with eastern and western hemispheres in gold and with waters in blue, with the words Growing Boys at the bottom. This pin is presented when the boy completes the requirements for the TYRO step. The Fellow Bar - After a Galilean completes the requirements for the FELLOW step, he receives this 1" bar to attach to his Tyro pin. This bar is a grey ship with Fellow printed in gold.

Sash and Stars Another item that is available in the Galilean program to be used as an award and to show the progress of the boys is a sash. The sash is made of blue flannel and is 6" wide and 60" long. It is awarded to a Galilean after he completes the requirements for a TYRO. It becomes part of his official uniform. White cloth stars are available to be awarded when a boy completes his study in each area of advancement. These 1" white stars are sewn on the sash under the symbols for CHURCH, BIBLE STUDY, MISSIONS, CHRISTIAN WITNESSING, and SERVICE.
