The medal itself is solid sterling marked so weighing about 48<br>grams. This was awarded 2 years after the award was created so it is extremely<br>rare to find one this early especially named with the certificate.<br><br>I have a fairly large lot of Frank Griffin‘s Scouting items going back to the<br>20‘s. This listing is for this medal and certificate which I know to be<br>extremely important, I‘m still trying to decide how to do the rest of the lot as<br>I know it might be irresponsible to split it up. It ranges from the 20‘s to the<br>60‘s with photographs from the first quarter of the 20th century, scoutmaster<br>paperwork from the 20‘s and 30‘s, merit badges with paperwork, etc.<br><br>ABOUT THE AWARD<br><br>The Silver Beaver Award is the council-level distinguished service award of the<br>Boy Scouts of America. Upon nomination by their local Scout council and with the<br>approval of the National Court of Honor, recipients of this award are registered<br>adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service<br>given to the council.[1] The Silver Beaver is an award given to those who<br>implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work,<br>self-sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service.

A<br>blue-white-blue ribbon bar was introduced in 1934 for informal uniform wear. In<br>1946, ribbon bars were replaced by the current knot insignia.<br><br>The Silver Beaver was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award, an<br>equivalent for women, was awarded starting in 1971. It used the same knot<br>insignia, but on a blue background, as women were mostly involved in Cub<br>Scouting during this period. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver<br>Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974. A total of 2,455 Silver Fawns were<br>awarded to outstanding women for support of Cub Scouting before the award was<br>discontinued in 1974.<br><br>As this is a council BSA award, it is conceivably possible for a person to<br>receive this award multiple times from different councils.
