Well, it depends on the organisation, but in the SCA, I think the
intent is to reward excellence (to different levels, depending on the
award) in service, combat, and A&S, and for doing it for the love of
it or for the betterment of the SCA, not just to receive the award
itself. What this is intended to teach is that working towards
betterment of the SCA is better than doing something merely to collect
the badge and move on to the next one. My opinion.
