Silver Beaver

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. It is 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 medal consists of a silver beaver pendant 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. Using the United States Military as the model, silver awards are the highest awards in the BSA.

Nomination: Information for the Atlanta Area Council can be found here: http://www.atlantabsa.org/advancement/volunteer-awards/6737. Nominations are generally due in November (check for current deadlines), announcements are in December, and the ceremony in late Spring the following year.
