PRESIDENT SALUTED. President
Richard M. Nixon received the
Silver Buffalo, the BSA's high-
est award "for distinguished
service to boyhood" during Octo-
ber in the Oval Room of the
White House. Scout Robert L.
Avery II of Alexandria, Va.,
represented the more than 6 mil-
lion members of the Boy Scouts
of America when he presented the
President with a small silver
buffalo suspended from a red and
white ribbon. The citation
saluted President Nixon as a
"world statesman, patriot,
scholar, friend of youth" and
paid special tribute to his
unique service as former chair-
man of the board of the Boys'
Clubs of America and as current
Honorary President of the Boy
Scouts of America. Silver
Buffalos have been presented
since 1926, the first one going
to Lord Baden-Powell.
