There are three awards given at different levels of Scouting as recognition for extraordinary service, known as the Silver Awards. These awards are the Silver Beaver at the Council Level, The Silver Antelope at the Region or Territory Level, and the Silver Buffalo at the National Level.
The list of Silver Beaver honorees for the Indian Waters Council (and formerly Central South Carolina Council) and the Pee Dee Area Council is found HERE.
Silver Antelope
The Silver Antelope Award is a distinguished service award presented by the Boy Scouts of America for outstanding service to young people. From 1942 to 2021 it recognized service within one of the geographical regions of the BSA. Beginning in 2022, with a reorganization of the BSA, it is presented for service in a Council Service Territory (from 2022-2023 National Service Territory.)
Recipients may be nominated and selected for their efforts in the council service territory and/or for service to the council service territory through various national committees.
The award is made by the National Court of Honor and the recipient must be a registered adult member of the Boy Scouts of America.
