I will note, for those not in the know, that a registered name IS 
required to get an official, signed, award scroll.  A registered device 
is required to get an official, signed, AoA scroll (or any other scroll 
with your arms on.)


The quickest way to say this is any armigorous award requires a name
and device passed.  Merit badge awards (Golden Dolphin, Pearl, etc.)
do not require a personal device merely the badge of the award thus
the scroll can be completed.  (Unless you never had your AOA before
you received your Golden Dolphin but that's a technicality that I'd
like to hold off discussing until after Pennsic and my sewing machine
has cooled down. <G>)
