Every year the Silver Beaver Award is presented to volunteers in our Council at the Annual Banquet.
These are people who go above and beyond what is expected in Scouting at the Council level and is the highest award that a Council can bestow on a volunteer
An anonymous committee of volunteers review the nominations and select the recipients who will fill the limited number of available openings.
There are many deserving volunteers who will only be considered for this award if their peers take the time to complete a nomination form.
Please refer to the attached list of past recipients and do not assume that a deserving person has already received the award.
There are many deserving Scouters who no one has taken the time to nominate.
The nomination form is also attached and should be returned to Nancy Gettys at the Council Service Center no later than November 12, 2010.

Uniform Closet: Please consider donating your son's gently used uniforms (all ranks), hats, pins, patches, badges, belt loops, books, and other scouting materials to benefit our new multicultural units throughout the council as well as to assist families that may be experiencing financial difficulties. Let's all do whatever we can to remove barriers to scouting for families in our areas.
You can bring any materials to your monthly Roundtable meetings or drop them off at the council offices in the Rinker Center inside the ScoutShop in Palm Beach Gardens. The contact person is Romney Baldwin, Program Specialist for the Gulf Stream Council. You can reach her at 561-694-8585 ext. 248 or Romney.Baldwin@scouting.org to make other drop off arrangements. A scout is
helpful. A scout is kind. A scout is thrifty. Thank you for helping other scouts in need.
YIS, Romney
