The Silver Beaver Award was introduced in 1931 and is a council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are registered Scouters who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given at the council level.

Congratulations to these amazing volunteers! Thank you for what you do for Scouting.

Short Term Camp Administrator Training

A short-term camp is any council-organized overnight camping program, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length where the council or its agents provide the staffing and may provide program and food services, and includes camps conducted off council properties. National training courses are subject to the short-term camp requirements, regardless of format or duration.

Each short-term camp is administered by a short-term camp administrator. This National Camping School course may be conducted at the council level with host site approval or participants can participate in National Council facilitated courses.

If you are interested in becoming a Short Term Camp Administrator, below are upcoming opportunities to become certified to serve in this role.
