Micosay Coups

Silver Coup (Chief’s Coup): The Silver Coup is the highest form of recognition given in the Tribe. It was first awarded in 1959, by Chuck Henion (Chief Swift Eagle) to Tribesmen for special merit and outstanding service to Mic-O-Say, their Reservation, and to Scouting.  Presented by the Chief, this is a very special one-time award to those Tribesmen who serve unselfishly. Spherical coup made of silver.

Military Service Coup: First awarded in 1946 at a special military retreat to honor all those who had returned from the Armed Forces. Since then, it has been given to all Tribesmen who have fulfilled their military obligations. Awarded once and only one set is worn on a lanyard.  Cylindrical form in three bands: red, white, and blue (top).

Coup of the Long Trail: Originally designed for those who attended the National Jamboree in 1960. At first it was to be worn in lieu of paint on the claws. However, in 1961, the coup we now use was established. The intention is to recognize those Tribesmen who share the spirit of Friendship and Warmth outside of our council. Tribesmen earn this coup by attending an approved event such as a National Jamboree or participating in a Scouting high adventure base such as Philmont.  Tribesmen can earn this coup as a Brave and then receive the coup when they advance to Warrior. A Tribesman must meet with a Medicine Man prior to going or he or she will not be eligible for this coup. Awarded once and only one set is worn on a lanyard.  Tapered cylindrical coup: clear with green center.

Scoutmaster Coup: First awarded in 1959, this coup recognizes those Tribesmen who served as Camp Scoutmaster for one full session. Awarded once and only one set is worn on a lanyard. Cylindrical coup in three bands: green, white, and green.

Friendship Coup: Awarded only once and only to those Tribesmen who, in 1955, participated in the first Tribal ceremonies at Camp Ernst (now closed). Cylindrical form with three bands: black (top), gold, and white.

1962 Runner Coup: Awarded to those who participated in the ceremony for the opening of Camp Frontier (now Camp Piercing Arrow) in 1962. The group gathered at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City and lit a torch which was carried by runners to the town of Osceola. From Osceola, they canoed down the Osage River to a place below the Point. The torch was used to light fires in SheSheBe, Lone Bear, the Memorial Chapel, Wigwam (now Lone Star), Sawmill, and, finally, Frontier. A torch atop a stone column in Frontier was lit,

there to burn for several years to mark the occasion. Cylindrical coup in three bands: clear, green, and clear.

50th Anniversary Trek Coup: Awarded to approximately 35 Tribesmen who ran from Noel, Missouri, to the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation in commemoration of “50 years of Friendship and Warmth.”  Tapered cylindrical coup in red with “150” miles on one side and “50” years on the other.
