The Silver Beaver Award is the highest honor that the Council can bestow upon a volunteer Scouter. Councils are allowed to present one Silver Beaver Award annually, plus one for every 60 units or fraction thereof. For a complete list of 2010 recipients, see www.samhoustonbsa.org/silver_beaver_award.php.
The Silver Beaver Award is the council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are registered adult leaders 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 actively seek it.
The award consists of a silver beaver suspended from a blue and white ribbon worn around the neck. Recipients may wear the corresponding square knot, with a white strand over a blue strand, on the BSA uniform.
