February 26-Trapper Trails Council, BSA - Silver Beaver Recognition Ceremony-Logan, Utah
Twenty three adult scouters from the Trapper Trails Council – Boy Scouts of America, were recognized for their achievements in scouting on February 26th, with the presentation of the Silver Beaver Award. Two of those twenty three adult scouters were from the Troop One, Logan, Utah family.
Mary Ann Davis was presented the Silver Beaver Award by husband and fellow Silver Beaver Recipient Paul Davis; also a distinguished long-time Troop One adult leader. Stuart Parkinson was presented the Silver Beaver Award by distinguished Cache Valley scouter James Johnston, who is also a recipient of the Silver Beaver Award, and a long-time Troop One adult leader.
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. The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. It is given to those who do not actively seek it.
The Silver Beaver was introduced in 1931 as a pin-on medal, but due to the heavy weight of the medallion it was switched over to a neck ribbon in mid-1932. A blue-white-blue ribbon bar was introduced in 1934 for informal uniform wear. In 1946, ribbon bars were replaced by the current knot insignia.
