Silver Beaver Award
The Silver Beaver Award is bestowed upon 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 a local Council can bestow upon volunteer leaders.
Eligibility
- Long-established policy limits the award of the Silver Beaver to adults 21 and older who are registered with the Boy Scouts of America as volunteer Scouters.
- Nominations will not be considered for current or former professional Scouters within five (5) years of their leaving employment with the BSA. Other council employees (part time or full time) are eligible to receive the Silver Beaver Award based on their volunteer service, not employed service.
- Nominations cannot be considered for posthumous awards.
Nomination Process
- Download the Silver Beaver Award nomination form and fill it out with all the required information. Please note the following:
- Give the full name and titles (if any) of the nominee exactly as you want them to appear on the certificate.
- Furnish as much information as possible for each section.
- Once the application form has been completed, it should be submitted to the Dan Beard Silver Beaver Alumni Association either electronically via email or mail to:
