The purpose of the Silver Antelope award is to recognize registered Scouters of exceptional character who have provided distinguished service within a region. This recognition is presented by the National Court of Honor on behalf of the four regions of the Boy Scouts of America – Central, Western, Southern, and Northeast. Completed nomination forms are submitted to local councils for local approval then submitted electronically to the National Court of Honor; awards are presented each year at the regional awards luncheon held in conjunction with the BSA National Annual Meeting each May. Recipients receive a certificate, an embroidered square knot emblem for the field uniform and the Silver Antelope medal, suspended from an orange and white ribbon for formal occasions and civilian wear.
