📣 The Crossroads of the West Council is proud to announce our 2025 Silver Beaver Award recipients!

The Silver Beaver Award is the highest honor a local council can present to a volunteer — recognizing exceptional character, leadership, and distinguished service to youth.

This year, we honor:
⭐ Rachel Armstrong
⭐ Grant Carver
⭐ Kenneth Cottle
⭐ Garr Judd
⭐ Paul Kraus
⭐ Heath Lowinske
⭐ Mike McNall
⭐ Matthew Mciff

These remarkable individuals represent the very best of Scouting. Their steady leadership, countless volunteer hours, and unwavering belief in young people have made a lasting difference across our council.

As we look toward America’s 250th anniversary, we’re reminded that our nation’s story is written by individuals who step forward, give back, and invest in the next generation. These recipients reflect that same enduring spirit of service, citizenship, and commitment to community.

Because of leaders like these, lives are changed — and the legacy continues.

There are a lot of differences between Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA, and what seems obvious to those of us who have been involved in Scouting for years might not be so obvious to those who haven’t.
