The Silver Beaver Award

The Silver Beaver Award is made for noteworthy service of exceptional character to youth by registered Cub Scouters, Scouters, Varsity Scouters, and Venturing leaders at the Council level and to other organizations within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Juniata Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America.   It is the highest award a local Scout council can bestow upon a volunteer.

The Selection Committee, appointed by the Council President, reviews complete furnished information, including details and dates for the service at the unit, district, and council level, activities, as well as service to non-Scouting organizations including youth, fraternal, service clubs, churches, business, and others.  Consideration is given for specific leadership qualities of the nominee, as well as reasons why the nominee’s service has been outstanding as a Scouting volunteer on the council level.  Although the length of service receives consideration, it is important that the service rendered be of an outstanding nature, that the contribution made through leadership and service be far-reaching in its effect on helping to provide youth the best possible program of Scouting.

The nominee should not be made aware this recommendation has been submitted. Once the Silver Beaver Committee has made their selection, a member of the committee will contact the person making the nomination with complete details.  All nominations are held for a total of three (3) reviews.  Nomination Forms must be submitted to the Council Service Center by 5:00pm on October 31 and are available at the Council Service Center or online at www.jvcbsa.org
