Chickasaw Council Silver Beavers & Fawns
Silver Beaver Awards for distinguished service to boyhood are presented each year upon nomination of the local council and approval of the National Council. This award is made for noteworthy service of exceptional character to dedicated Scouters who have earned this high honor.
Silver Beaver was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award** an equivalent for women, was awarded starting in 1971. It used the same knot insignia, but on a blue background, as women were mostly involved in Cub Scouting during this period. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974. A total of 2,455 Silver Fawns were awarded nationwide to outstanding women for support of Cub Scouting before the award was discontinued in 1974. Eight of these women are registered in the Chickasaw Council.
