At the California Inland Empire Council – Boy Scouts of America 2009 Annual Recognition Dinner on Saturday, February 2 I was awarded the Silver Beaver, the highest recognition that a council can give. It is for distinguished service to young people. My sweetheart, Janet attended with me. It was a fairly big celebration. The food was good – Outback catered the event.
As for the Silver Beaver, you have to have a spouse that will support you in being active in scouting for several years. I appreciate Janet and her support. It has also been a great opportunity to spend time with Scott, Eric and Jacob. Service with a smile.
