Silver Beaver and Silver Fawn Recipients


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 was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award, an equivalent for women, was awarded starting in 1971. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974.
