Almost correct. In the case of Baronial Service awards(at least in this Kingdom),
the Crown is advised of the award being given, but is not otherwise involved
(unless they happen to be a member of that Baronys' order).  The members of
the Order are polled, and the yea or nay given by vote of the Order.  The actual
scroll comes from artisans within that Barony, and is signed by the Baron and
Baroness, NOT the Crown. However, those people who are candidates for
Baronial Service Orders are as a rule, would be candidates for AoA's due to the
amount of work they have contributed to their group.  Generally, their service for
this type of award is "above and beyond" and specific to their Barony.
