Troop 45 is unique among Boy Scout Troops in that it has it’s own Adult Scouter Award, the Troop 45 Silver Stallion. Similar to the Council’s Silver Beaver Award, our Silver Stallion is the highest award our Troop can bestow upon an adult volunteer. It is awarded to an adult whose actions and involvement have furthered the Troop 45 Program for the Scouts of our Troop.
The names below are but a partial listing of Troop 45 Silver Stallions. One of the real tragedies of Troop 45 is that we have no idea when the Troop started awarding Silver Stallions nor do we have a complete listing of all Silver Stallion award winners.
Should you either have some details about the history of the Silver Stallion or have other names to add to our list of Silver Stallion winners, please email the Troop at: troop45@troop45mineola.org
