Baker Receives Scouting Award
On Tuesday, September 12, 2006, Kenneth L. Baker received the Silver Beaver Award at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Greater Pittsburgh Council of the Boy Scouts of America at Flag Plaza in Pittsburgh.
The Award carries a medallion and plaque and is the highest award a regional Scout Council may grant. An Eagle Scout himself, Ken has served Scouting in the Catawga, now the Mingo Trails, District as a Scout Roundtable Commissioner and Chairman of the Advancement and Nominating Committees. He is currently Chairman of the Washington County Scouting for Food Drive and a Board member of the Greater Pittsburgh Council. At the Council level, he has been Chairman of the Membership Standards Committee since 1998 and led the Council's first Youth Protection Conference (1998-2000).
The Greater Pittsburgh Council serves some 49,000 youth in Allegheny, Beaver, Washington and Greene Counties with 8,500 adult Scouters and a professional staff of 32. Its "Heritage Reservation" at Farmington, Pennsylvania in the mountains, is one of the premier Scout Camps in the United States and annually hosts more than 5,000 youth, from 8 to 18 years of age.
