What is a Silver Beaver?
The Silver Beaver Award is a national award
presented by Boy Scout Councils. It is the
highest recognition a volunteer can be
awarded at the council level. Annually, the
council president will appoint a Silver Beaver
Award committee that will consider candidates and
make recommendations. Nominations will not be
considered for former professional Scouters or
council employees within five years of their leaving
employment with BSA (i.e., any form of full time
employment such as secretary, ranger, or
professional-technical position). Nominations
cannot be made for posthumous awards. The
award is limited to adults 21 years of age or older.
The requirements and procedures are as follows: This award may be made each year upon the
nomination of chartered local councils. These nominations shall be submitted not fewer than thirty
days in advance of the date upon which it is desired to present the awards. The award is made
for noteworthy service of exceptional character to youth by registered Scouters within the
territory under the jurisdiction of a local office.
Below is a list of individuals who have been or are currently associated with Troop 21.
