Where does a medal go on a Boy Scout uniform?
The mounting of medals on US military uniforms are done in an established "Order of Precedence", that is the highest medal is in first place, followed by lesser medals, in order of the established precedence. The same would go for the ribbons representing those medals.
Is there a distinction between receiving a medal and a ribbon?
The medal is the actual metal object attached to a band of ribbon that is displayed upon the uniform. A ribbon is worn upon the uniform in place of the actual medal. The ribbon has the same coloring bands as the band of ribbon on which the medal is hung. There are also ribbons awarded that don't have medals associated with them. The Presidential Unit Commendation, Sea Service Deployment Award are some examples. When wearing dress uniforms the actual medals are worn on the left breast and the ribbons for the non-medal items are shifted to the right breast.
What navy uniform in place of tuxedo?
There is a special Dinner Dress uniform that resembles a tuxedo, however it is quite expensive. Whenever I need to wear a tuxedo for a wedding or funeral, etc, I prefer to wear the Dress Blues with ribbons as it is black and can be worn anytime of year. Also, if you are attending a wedding, Ribbons fit best so you don't upstage the groom, of course that is just my opinion.

Why are red ribbons awarded for first place at the Tae Kwon Do tournament?
Every Taekwondo tournament may differ as to issuing trophies, medals with ribbons, or ribbons alone. It is up to the tournament director (or organizing committee) to decide which to use, and what color of ribbons for each place. According to the wikipedia article cited in the relate links below, the U.S.A. has adopted the following order for athletic events and county or state fairs: blue for first place, red for second place, yellow for third place, and white for fourth place. Canada uses a similar system except that the blue and red are switched, and the yellow and white are switched: red for first place, blue for second place, white for third place, and yellow for fourth place. Another reason for choosing the red color for first place might be in line with the Korean philosophy of the Taegeuk, the symbol in the center of the national flag of South Korean, which is based on the Chinese Tai Chi Tu (Yin and Yang circle). In the Korean version the Red ("Hong") represents the more dominant "yang," and the Blue ("Chung") represents the submissive "um." The best way to know for sure is to ask the tournament director why he or she chose to use red ribbons for first place at their tournament.
