What kind of medals are these - boy scout, military, fraternal, inter-scholastic?

    I got these small medals all together, and with the exception of the one on the top left, which I'm guessing is from a religious summer camp, I can't figure out where the rest came from.
    The one on the top right says Dionysus on it.

    First one with water skier - St. Christopher on reverse so I'd say it's a Catholic medal. When I was growing up Catholic, many of my pieces of jewelry had small Saints medals attached. None appear to be military even though one is the Great Seal of the US. No clue either.

    It's a starter kit for those generals you see on TV with 8 or 10 rows of medal ribbons. The first few rows are probably from summer camps and the rest came up with the rations.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    The one with Dionysus... a medal for wine drinking?
    :cat::happy: -- Just kidding... I have no idea.
