Friend To Friend In Scouting:
The Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award

The Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award, created to honor those Masons who are actively serving the Boy Scout movement, continues to gain much attention and interest throughout the Commonwealth. All Master Masons are invited to recommend a brother for the award named in honor of Daniel Carter Beard, a New York Mason, who was largely responsible for the development of the Scout movement in America.

Petitions and criteria for the award can be obtained through lodge secretaries or by visiting the Grand Lodge web site at www.pagrandlodge.org/pyf/pgm/scouter. The award approved by the Boy Scouts of America consists of a neck medallion and knot patch to be worn with a Scout uniform, and a certificate endorsed by the Grand Master.
