Most of you know about the Silver Beaver, the highest Council-Level Award for “distinguished service to young people within a BSA local council.” But did you know about the Silver Fawn.
From Wikipedia:
The Silver Beaver was initially awarded only to men. The Silver Fawn Award, an equivalent for women was awarded from 1971 to 1974. It used the same knot insignia, but on a blue background. The Silver Fawn was discontinued and the Silver Beaver began to be awarded to women in 1974. A total of 2,455 Silver Fawns were awarded to outstanding women for support of Cub Scouting before the award was discontinued in 1974.
While the square knot was the same, the award itself had a silver fawn (rather than the silver beaver). One recently sold on eBay for a nice sum. Keep an eye out for this one.
