Here’s every recipient of the Silver Antelope Award from 2010 to 2018

The Silver Antelope Award recognizes Scouters of exceptional character who have provided distinguished service within one of the BSA’s four regions — Central, Northeast, Southern and Western.

It’s part of the so-called “Silver family” of BSA awards, alongside the Silver Beaver Award for distinguished service within a council and the Silver Buffalo Award for distinguished service on the national level.

You’ll call me biased, but of all the Silver Antelope Award recipients in history, my favorite is my dad, Don, who received the honor in 2014.

Each of the recipients of the award, created in 1942, has done something remarkable to benefit Scouting. You can see the list of recipients from 2010 to 2018 below. Are there any from your council?

How to nominate someone for the Silver Antelope Award

To nominate someone for the Silver Antelope, contact your local council. Your council will electronically submit its nominations, using this official form, to the National Court of Honor.

Councils must submit nominations by Nov. 30 for consideration the following year. Awards are presented each year at the regional awards luncheon held in conjunction with the BSA’s National Annual Meeting each May.

Recipients get recognized at the luncheon and receive an orange-and-white knot to wear on their uniforms, an orange-and-white ribbon medal, a lapel pin and, of course, a certificate.
