• The Silver Beaver Award is the council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are registered adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the Council, other non-Scouting youth organizations, and community organizations. It’s given to those who do not seek it, but implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service.

Please take a moment to congratulate Sandy on this well-deserved honor, and make plans to attend the Council Recognition Dinner, Saturday,  March 24, 2018. Sandy will be presented with her award that evening.

In addition to the Council Recognition Dinner, make plans to attend our District Recognition Dinner during our May Roundtable on May 4, 2017. It’s catered event at the Wayzata Country Club, and promises to be a great time. More importantly, it gives us a chance to recognize our outstanding District Scouters for a job well done.
