Annual Recognition Banquet
Please join us for the Annual Recognition Banquet, to be held at 6:30 p.m. at The American Eagle Foundation (510 Kodak Rd, Kodak, TN 37764). The event will feature the presentation of the coveted Silver Beaver Award to a select group of deserving individuals who have distinguished themselves in their service to youth. Each year the Great Smoky Mountain Council, by authority of the National Court of Honor of Scouting America, chooses individuals to receive this honor. The Silver Beaver is the highest award a local council can bestow upon an adult volunteer.
This will be an outstanding program that includes presentation of the 2025 Class of Eagle Scouts, the 2025 Silver Beaver Awards, National Outstanding Eagle Scout Awards, council Alumnus of the Year, Order of the Arrow’s Founders’ Award, and others.
The cost of the banquet is $55 per person, if paid on or before February 14, 2026. Units or families wishing to sit as a group need to register together to ensure assigned seats. After February 14, the fee will be $60 per person. So that we can provide attendance numbers to catering, the deadline for registration is February 28, 2026.
