Silver Beavers of the Tidewater

[TIDEWATER COUNCIL]

Silver Beavers of the Tidewater Council

The Silver Beaver

The Silver Beaver Award was introduced in 1931 as a means of recognizing Scouters who provided distinguished service to youth at the Council level. The National Council, upon the recommendation of the local Council, makes the award.

As a movement whose leadership is overwhelmingly volunteer, the Boy Scouts of America recognizes the need to acknowledge the invaluable service that men and women render to youth. The Silver Beaver is the highest honor that a Council can bestow upon a volunteer and is among the most prestigious awards in Scouting.

The Silver Beaver is not an "earned" award, rather the recognition is granted by one's own peers in Scouting for distinguished service to youth. A Council committee selects the recipients after a thorough review of nominations received from throughout the Council.

Time of service is not a prerequisite, nor does the fact that someone is long tenured make the recognition automatic. A recipient of the award may be a Scouter who has given exceptional service to Scouting or their community over a long period of time, or it may go to a Scouter who has done a single truly remarkable act of noteworthy service. The award can also be presented to Scouters who provide exceptional service to youth outside of Scouting.
