Saint George, Patron Saint of Scouts, Soldiers and England
George was a Roman soldier martyred around 303 AD under Emperor Diocletian for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. The dragon-slaying story attached to him centuries later and became his defining image, but his actual history is that of a soldier who chose execution over recanting. He became patron of England during the Crusades, when English soldiers adopted him as their protector, and his red cross on white became the country's national symbol. He's also the official patron of the worldwide Scouting movement, chosen by founder Robert Baden-Powell for the same quality that defined his martyrdom: courage under pressure. His feast day is April 23.
A Gift For...
- A scout, scout leader, or anyone involved in Scouting
- A soldier, veteran, or member of the armed forces
- Someone of English heritage or living in England
- Anyone who held their ground under real pressure
- A person facing a situation that calls for courage, not luck
A Confirmation Gift for George
For a confirmation candidate headed into Scouting, the military, or just a harder chapter of life, George's medal carries real weight, a saint chosen specifically for courage rather than comfort.
The Saint George Medal
The medal shows George mounted on horseback, haloed, driving his lance into the dragon beneath him, radiating light behind. The natural gold or silver of the metal forms the illustration itself. Black ink is applied to the pendant surface and the metal shows through as the image. A shatterproof liquid glass coating seals the surface. The result has a depth and precision that printed medals don't achieve.
Personalization and Engraving
Reverse engraving available in Tangerine cursive, 2 lines, 20 characters max each. Well-suited pairings: a scout rank or troop number with "Be Prepared," or a deployment date paired with a soldier's name.
Saint George's feast day is April 23rd. Nearly two thousand years after his death, his cross still flies over England, and his name is still the one scouts around the world promise to live up to.
FAQ
How long does production take?
Each medal is made to order in the USA. Production takes 5-6 business days before shipping. If you need it for a birthday, confirmation, or any specific occasion, order at least two weeks in advance to be safe.
What does the engraving look like?
The reverse is engraved in Tangerine cursive — an elegant, flowing script. You get two lines, up to 20 characters each. Names, dates, short quotes. The engraving is laser-etched directly into the metal, not printed.
Is the chain included?
Yes. Every medal ships on an 18-22" adjustable snake chain in the same finish as the medal - stainless steel or 18k gold. No need to source a chain separately.
Are the medals hypoallergenic?
Yes. Both options are made from medical-grade 316 stainless steel. The 18k gold finish is applied over that same 316 stainless steel base. Safe for sensitive skin.
How durable is the coating?
Each medal is hand-sealed with a shatterproof liquid glass coating poured directly over the surface. It protects the artwork from scratches and moisture without dulling the detail or altering the color. It's designed to be worn daily, not kept in a drawer.
What's your return policy on engraved orders?
Because every medal is custom-made to order, engraved pieces cannot be returned unless there's a defect or error on our part. If anything arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us and we'll make it right.
