Silver Wolf Award (The Scout Association)

The Silver Wolf is the highest award made by The Scout Association "for services of the most exceptional character."

The award consists of a Silver Wolf suspended from a dark green and yellow neck ribbon.

During the early years of the development of the Scout Movement throughout the world, it was the practice of the Founder, Lord Baden-Powell, to give the Silver Wolf to Scouters in any country who had done outstandingly valuable work for the Movement.

The Silver Wolf was first awarded to King's Scouts or King's Sea Scouts of at least 2 years service and who earned 12 proficiency badges, who performed under exceptional circumstances like saving a life or repeated acts of bravery, endurance, or self-sacrifice.
