2026 Silver Beaver Recipients

The Silver Beaver is the highest award that Scouting America Council can present in recognition of a volunteer’s exceptional service to Scouting at the Council level, youth outside of Scouting, and the community.  The National Council established the Silver Beaver Award in 1931 to recognize those who have provided distinguished service to Scouting.  Since then, over 50,000 scouters have been recognized nationally.  Each local council is authorized by the National Council of Scouting America to confer the Silver Beaver Award on those individuals who have made an exceptional and noteworthy impact on Scouting on the Council level and the community.

The Silver Beaver award is to recognize exceptional Council-level contribution by Suffolk County Council’s volunteers.  Every one of us knows someone who has made a noteworthy impact on the lives of youth through service given to Suffolk County Council and our communities.  The recognition of these Scouting volunteers depends on you.
