The 2021 Silver Beaver Recipients are:

The award is for registered Scouters who have "exceptional character and provides distinguished service to Scouting in the Black Swamp Area Council" and to other community programs for youth.

The Silver Beaver is the highest award the council bestows on a registered leader. Recipients are awarded a silver beaver pendant on a blue and white ribbon that is worn around the neck. A corresponding square knot patch, with a white strand over a blue strand, is worn on the BSA uniform. 

Metzger is a leader in Bluffton's Boy Scout Troop 256, which has been under continuous charter since 1939. The troop's current chartering organization is American Legion Post 382.
