Silver Beaver

Established in 1931, the Silver Beaver Award is presented by the Boy Scouts of America, to council, district or unit volunteers for distinguished service to youth. It is the highest award that a local council may present to a volunteer. The award consists of a silver beaver suspended from a blue and white ribbon, worn around the neck. A blue and white square knot may be worn on the uniform as well.
