Fire Mountain Scout Camp

The Silver Beaver Award recognizes registered Scouters of exceptional character who have provided outstanding service to youth within the Council. Anyone may nominate any deserving registered Scouter to the council, which selects recipients for the following year.

Per Wikipedia. The Silver Beaver was introduced in 1931 as a pin-on medal, but due to the heavy weight of the medallion it was switched over to a neck ribbon in mid-1932. A blue-white-blue ribbon bar was introduced in 1934 for informal uniform wear. In 1946, ribbon bars were replaced by the current knot insignia.

The Silver Beaver was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award, an equivalent for women, was awarded starting in 1971. It used the same knot insignia, but on a blue background, as women were mostly involved in Cub Scouting during this period. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974. A total of 2,455 Silver Fawns were awarded to outstanding women for support of Cub Scouting before the award was discontinued in 1974.

Using the United States Military as the model, silver awards are the highest awards in Scouting America. Scouting America currently awards three silver awards, the Silver Beaver (Council Level), the Silver Antelope (Territory Level), and the Silver Buffalo (National Level).
