Silver Beaver

The Silver Beaver Award is the highest award that our Council can award. Forms for the Silver Beaver Award –there are two: the BSA form the council submits to the National Council; and, the Baltimore Area Council form the nominator uses to submit a nomination package to the council for consideration. The Council nomination form can be found here:

http://www.baltimorebsa.org/resources/silver-beaver-award/silver-beaver-award-page/66367

Do not use the National form, or send it to the Texas address indicated on that form; instead, use only the local council form and submit it to the Baltimore Area Council office:

SILVER BEAVER SELECTION COMMITTEE

BALTIMORE AREA COUNCIL, B.S.A.

701 WYMAN PARK DRIVE

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 21211

District Award of Merit

The nomination deadline is September 1, 2022, for Arrowhead District Award of Merit. There is a form on the council webpage to include with your nomination and letters of reference. Everything, at one time, goes to our Advancement Chair, Charlie Hauss, charles.hauss@gmail.com.

Unsung Hero Award

The nomination deadline is September 1, 2022, for the Arrowhead Unsung Hero Award. It is sent to Robby Cohen, nehoc1@verizon.net. An email to him is sufficient.

Eagle Update

New Eagle Scout application procedures effective immediately.

Any questions contact Charlie Hauss, Arrowhead Advancement Chair, charles.hauss@gmail.com

A new BAC Eagle Information Sheet has been uploaded to the Eagle Scout Information page (under resources). That form is to be used immediately. Previous versions are not to be used.

That form includes spots for the Unit Leader and Unit Committee Chair information – both their names and email addresses.

The BAC Eagle Information Sheet will be the source of information for our Eagle Processor to contact the Unit when the Eagle Packet is ready for pick-up.

If no form is submitted with the verified application following the Eagle Board of Review, the notification will be sent to the District Advancement Chair to forward to the unit. This is not preferable; submit the form.

Contained within the packet will be a card (with the Scout’s name) entitling the purchase of an Eagle Presentation Kit, which is a controlled stock item for BSA. This card is to be turned in to the Scout Shop as part of the purchase. The Scout Shops will place the card in the box of items being sent to BAC.

If you are already involved in the process, please contact Charlie before you turn things in. Maybe we can avoid you having to redo things.
