The
Silver Beaver award was created by the National Council
and first presented in 1931 as an award program to be
utilized by a local council with National Council
approval of the recipients.
James E. West, the first National Scout Executive, and
one of the founders of Scouting in the U.S. gave his
opinion in 1936 when the award had been in use just five
years at that point as follows: "This" (Silver Beaver)"
is an award recommended by the local group. We try to
steer it and guide it as far as possible, not toward the
administrative officer" (local council level positions)
"but towards the man who is working with boys and in the
actual operation of Scouting, the Scoutmaster
preferably. You would be amazed at the number of times
when we don't just reject but reason with the local
recommending committee, and we are getting very good
cooperation. We detest the recommendation that sometimes
comes to us on the basis that a man has given the
council a camp or something else. God forbid that we
offer rewards for gifts to us! This award is for men
giving outstanding service to Scouting whether the man
is outstanding or prominent, or otherwise, in the
community".
The award was originally a male only award. In the early
1970's the Silver Fawn was created for women and 3-4
years later the Silver Beaver was awarded to men and
women and the Silver Fawn discontinued.
There have been approximately 50,000 Silver Beavers
presented in the nation since 1931 among the many
millions of adult Scouters who have come and gone since
then. There have been approximately 12-14 individuals
who have received the award twice from among the 50,000
recipients. They each received it from two different
councils they served in. The first year they were
presented nationally (1931), they were on a pocket
ribbon like an Eagle medal. After that they were placed
on neck ribbons and remain so to this day.
