2026 Council Recognition Banquet

Join us for an evening of celebration and gratitude at our Council Recognition Banquet, where we honor the dedicated volunteers who make Scouting possible across our communities. This special event brings together leaders, supporters, and friends of Scouting to recognize outstanding service and commitment.

A highlight of the evening is the presentation of the Silver Beaver Award—the highest honor a local council can bestow upon a volunteer. Established in 1931, the Silver Beaver recognizes individuals who have given exceptional service to youth through Scouting. Recipients are selected for their impactful leadership, unwavering dedication, and significant contributions that have strengthened the Scouting program and shaped countless lives.

Come celebrate those who give so much to ensure the success of Scouting and the development of future leaders.
