Ok, so I did ring one fine, then I did ring 2 but when I handed it in I never physically received ring 2. I never planned on wearing ring 1 so I figured maybe I can just hand it in and the Sgt will take it. I finished the quest for ring 3 and when I try to hand in the letter and scouts ring, I just get them back. So... I guess I need ring 2 summoned for me.
You don't have a choice about wearing the 1st ring, since you have to hand it to him to complete the second ring. When you hand him the first ring, he gives you the second. Its not a case of "maybe I can just hand it to him", since that is the action that upgrades the 1st ring to the second.
Are you saying you did ring 3 before you completed ring 2?

Sergeant Halsey reads over the report and looks at (soandso) shocked, 'Thank heavens we stumbled onto this before it was too late! (soandso), you've done us a great justice -- please hand me your Scout's insignia and accept this as an honorary Corporal of the Newport Guard. I am sure the Newport Guard will call on you when we are prepared to cleanse the plagues from the badlands.'
