"As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands - one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."  Audrey Hepburn

Some are just beginning to step into the role of volunteer, while others are pros, offering hours upon hours of their services.  Join us on Sunday, April 13, 2025, as we celebrate some very deserving volunteers.  We'll have ice cream sundaes, share some great stories, and celebrate all that being a volunteer means.     

Silver Beaver

Receiving this year's Silver Beaver Award, the highest award bestowed upon a volunteer at a council level, is Scott Danger.  As an Eagle Scout himself, Scott realizes the importance of giving back.  Scott serves on the Twin Valley Council Board of Directors, having just finished his term as President.  He is an assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 29, as well as a merit badge counselor.  Scott is also involved in various special events such as Sporting Clays, Adult Pinewood Derby and the Values Event.  Congratulations Scott.  Very deserving!
