Silver Beaver Recipients
| The Silver Beaver Award was established in 1931 to honor adult leaders who have made a significant impact on the lives of youth through distinguished service to their local council. The Suwannee River Area Council awarded its first Silver Beavers in 1938 and with few exceptions has presented the award every year since then. Recipients are nominated by their fellow Scouters and selected by a committee. Please send questions or corrections to info@sracmuseum.org. |  |
