In this video, we want to present what our Medallion Ceremony represents to everyone involved at Hill Country Youth Ranch. The Texas live oak tree is chosen of its uniqueness and is a symbol for the development of the individual human being. With its twisted and turning branches each tree grows so differently and individually that no two are shaped the same. With roots deep in the ground, the tree reaches to an unseen depth as its branches stretch skyward. The octagon symbolizes the completion of the individual life in wholeness. With eight sides, like the points of a compass, all directions, hence all possibilities are included. And finally the "Love One Another" across the top comes from Jesus who said this is the greatest commandment.
