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

The Daniel Carter Beard Masonic Scouter Award was created to honor those Masons who are actively serving the Boy Scout movement. All Master Masons are invited to recommend a Brother for the award. An individual cannot apply; he must be nominated by a Brother Mason and be approved by his Lodge and District Deputy Grand Master. The District Deputy Grand Master, or someone designated by him, presents it at a Lodge meeting.

Since the program's inception, 280 Pennsylvania Masons and 476 Masons from other jurisdictions have received the award medallion, certificate, and the purple and gold square knot patch that represents the B.S.A. Community Organization Award program. 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.
