The Silver Beaver Award is the distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America and is the highest award that is given on the council level.  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. 

The 2016 Silver Beaver Recipients for Samoset Council are:

• Jeff Babl
• Nigel Cooper
• Jeffrey Klein
• Ivan Lukowski
• Marsha Salzwedel
• Timothy Vocke
• Timothy Yonash

These great volunteers will be presented with the Silver Beaver award on February 21, 2017 at Dales Weston Lanes in Weston.  The event will start at 6:00 with a light dinner.   Please plan to join us for this special event as we recognize this great group of volunteers and our 2016 Eagle Class. 

A new page has been created on the Samoset website to list all upcoming merit badge opportunities throughout the council.  This page will also be updated with resources and new information as it is released.
