Silver Beaver Award honoree honor roll

The Silver Beaver Award was introduced in 1931 and is a council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. 

Recipients of this award are registered Scouters who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council.

The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self-sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. It is given to those who do not seek it.

Please note for a period of time between (1970-74) The Silver Fawn Award, equivalent to Silver Beaver,  was issued to women in Scouting. These individuals are noted with an asterisk (*) beside their name.
