Order Of The Silver MarmotThe Order of the Silver Marmot is an honor society within the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), but membership to it is only granted at Camp Parsons in the Chief Seattle Council. Most of its members are or were Camp Parsons staff members, but membership is also granted to Scouts who successfully complete the High Adventure program there (i.e. a week-long hike in the Olympic Mountains and demonstrable knowledge of the local flora and fauna). The Order is named after the Silver Marmot, or Olympic Marmot, an rodent found only on the Olympic Peninsula. There are seven ranks in the Order of the Silver Marmot, and admission to them is governed by the bylaws of the order and by the Council of the Marmot, consisting of the higher-ranking members of the Order. The ranks of the Order of the Silver Marmot are as follows: - Timberline
- Skyline
- Guide
- Sentinel
- Defender
- Marmot
- Silver Marmot
The position of Silver Marmot is reserved for the current Camp Director. Every other position requires one more year on camp staff than the previous rank, except the first two ranks, which are also awarded to Scouts in the High Adventure program.
