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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">While the square knot was the same, the award itself had a silver fawn (rather than the silver beaver).
