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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Gift For...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA scout, scout leader, or anyone involved in Scouting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA soldier, veteran, or member of the armed forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone of English heritage or living in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who held their ground under real pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA person facing a situation that calls for courage, not luck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Confirmation Gift for George\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Saint George Medal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medal shows George mounted on horseback, haloed, driving his lance into the dragon beneath him, radiating light behind.
