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 number of awards that a council may present, each year, is determined by the number of units in the council. Nashua Valley Council is entitled to present two awards annually. 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. Of the thousands of volunteers who have served Nashua Valley and its predecessor councils since 1931, only 257 have received the Silver Beaver award. Nashua Valley Council is proud to recognize their contributions to Scouting.
