The Silver Beaver Award was established in 1931 and is presented for distinguished service to young people within a local Boy Scouts of America Council. It is the highest award which may be presented by a local council. A recipient must be a registered adult member of the Boy Scouts of America. The Rocky Mountain Council salutes the commitment and hard work of these Scouters!

2009 Silver Beaver Recipients
 

Though Kay Abbott was born in Jamestown, ND, she moved often as a result of her fathers work. She ended up in Canon City, CO where she graduated as Valedictorian from St. Scholastica's Academy. She attended college in Yankton, SD where she graduated with a degree in Accounting and minors in Math and Business Administration. After working for the Department of Defense Audit Agency in Minnesota, she ended up in Canon City, CO where she opened her own accounting business - Abbott Accounting and Tax Service.

With two children and a older kid, her husband Mike, Kay was destined for Scouting. She was recruited as Pack Treasurer soon assumed the Popcorn Kernel position for Cuerno Verde District in our council In 2002 she started helping out with the Cub Scout Day Camp as a walking leader, then later as the Craft Director, and then assumed position as Camp Director. She obtained her credentials at eh National Camping School in Philmont in 2005 and in 2008 became the first Council Cub Scout Camping Chairman, a position she still holds. Kay is still involved in Girls Scouts and this year she helped her daughter sell over 750 boxes of cookies. She has been awarded the Rocky Mountain Council Brand award, the District Award of Merit, and the Bronze Pelican Award.

 

Kevin Kelly was born and raised in Albert Lea, Minnesota.  He married his high school sweetheart in 1976. Kevin and Linda have two children. In 1984 Kevin was transferred to Pueblo, CO. While not a scout as a youth, Kevin grew up camping in MN with his family which of course, gave him a lot of experience with winter camping.

Kevin got involved in Boy Scouts when his wire drafted him to help, for just one hour a week, with their son's WEBELOS den. He and his son crossed over to Boy Scout Troop 19 where he would soon become the Scoutmaster for Troop 19. As Troop 19's leader, he has helped 23 young men earn their Eagle Scout rank. Kevin attended Woodbadge and has served on staff. He has the Scoutmaster Award of Merit and has been recognized as Scoutmaster of the year for his district twice. He is the Scoutmaster for the Rocky Mountain Council Jamboree Troop and a brotherhood member of  the Order of the Arrow.

 

Born in Del Norte Colorado, Doug Steward moved to Sterling Colorado where he attended Sterling High School. Doug has always believed in the need for education. He received is AA degree from Northeastern Junior College which he attended on a basketball scholarship. At Adams State College, Doug received his BA and his Masters degrees. He has taught at Weld Central High School and currently teaches sciences in all four grades at Monte Vista High School. In addition to teaching, Doug has served as a coach in track, football, and basketball. He has many hobbies. One is his participation in the Living History Association where he portrays soldiers in the 4th US Cavalry from the Civil War era.

His Scouting activities are as far reaching as his professional ones. Doug got started in Scouting with the Cub Scouts in Monte Vista, CO and then later moved into Troop 284.He stayed active even with his moves to Delta and Sterling CO. He has been active in the Order of the Arrow serving on the dance team, as Chapter Vice-Chief, and eventually as Advisor. His move back to the Rocky Mountain Council found opportunities for him as a Scoutmaster, Camporee and Camporall Director, Venture Crew Charter Representative, and District Roundtable Director. His belief in the Scouting program is summed up with his own words, "The scouting adventure is the best way to help young people learn to become productive community members. The youth are able to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually while having fun. ...youth become creative thinkers..." Doug's great service to Scouting has been recognized with many awards including the District Award of Merit, Scoutmaster of the Year, and te Rocky Mountain Council Brand Award.
