SILVER BEAVER AWARD
The Silver Beaver Award is bestowed upon only those persons who have given continued, unselfish, and effective service to the community, usually through the program of the Boy Scouts of America, but not limited to Scouting. Because Scouters may not nominate themselves for this award, only those persons who have been nominated by their Scouting peers are considered. The Silver Beaver Award is the highest recognition the Dan Beard Council can bestow upon its volunteer leaders.
Congratulations to the individuals shown below who were recipients of the Silver Beaver Award in 2019. For more information on the Silver Beaver Award, click here.
