The Quiet Legacy: Inside the Bronze Burro Award
|
Most of you are familiar with the esteemed Silver Beaver, Antelope, and Buffalo awards, and some may have even heard of the elusive Bronze Wolf presented by the World Scout Committee. But there’s another, lesser-known recognition: the Bronze Burro. Though it doesn’t appear in official Scouting publications, the Bronze Burro has a deep-rooted local history dating back to at least 1959. It celebrates individuals with a remarkable dedication that embodies the award’s unique legacy.
|
The Bronze Burro Award, introduced by volunteer Gerhard Schwaegerle and Scouting Professional Jasper Steele, pays tribute to the burros once cared for on council properties. Traditionally awarded at the Twin Valley District’s Volunteer Recognition Dinner, this award honors those who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to Rancho Los Mochos (RLM), an integral part of our Legacy Councils for more than a half-century. Historically, the RLM Ranger selects the awardees; previous recipients include past Rangers and volunteers who have made wide-ranging contributions to the camp, including restoration projects, historical trail mapping, and infrastructure improvements.
|
In 2024, Brian Putt was awarded the Bronze Burro for his significant contributions to major projects, his leadership on the camp's property committee, and his pivotal involvement in the National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) program at Rancho Los Mochos.
|
Thank you for everything you do, Brian Putt!
