Silver Beaver Honoree: Lisa Brown



Lisa Brown has been a Scouting volunteer for more than 10 years. She has served in various roles in her local pack, including Tiger Leader, Den Leader, Webelos Leader, and Committee Member. Recently she has also taken on the role of Crew Advisor and lends a hand with her local Troop.

Beyond service to her local Scouting units, Lisa is an indispensable part of the Seneca District volunteer team. As an instructor for Basic Cub Leader Training and Den Chief Training since 2009, she has helped to teach hundreds of other leaders how to be successful at delivering an excellent Scouting program. A dynamic and creative instructor, she has carried over her enthusiasm for training by leading the district’s Cub Scout Leader Roundtable for the past several years. She has also shared her knowledge with others as part of the Area 3 Commissioner College training staff.

A perennial volunteer staffer for Day Camp and the Cub Scout Spookoree, Lisa has also stepped forward to take the lead on the district’s fund raising team, heading up the annual Popcorn Sale campaign and inspiring others to share in her love and support of Scouting as chair of the annual Family Friends of Scouting donation campaign. Her love and enthusiasm for the Scouting program inspires all of us at the District and Council level.

Her most recent project is the development of a local Scouters’ Cookbook, a fund raising project that will feature all of our favorite recipes.

Her hard work, support, and tireless dedication for Seneca District was recognized with the 2011 District Award of Merit.

This former resident of Colorado also keeps pretty busy outside of Scouting. She has sung in her church choir, been active as a Girl Scout and 4H leader, and served as a Class Advisor at Batavia High School.
