Joe Skalisky of RE/MAX Alliance in Parker Honored with Silver Beaver Award from Boy Scouts of America

Joe Skalisky, broker associate with RE/MAX Alliance in Parker, has been honored with the Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The Silver Beaver Award is presented by a local BSA council for outstanding service to youth within the council or for outstanding long-time service to youth by a registered Scouter residing within the council. The average tenure for Silver Beaver candidates is 10 years or longer.

Candidates for the prestigious Silver Beaver Award must be nominated. Joe Skalisky was nominated by Steven Best, Major General of the U.S. Army Reserve and Chairman of the Silver Beaver Award Committee; Allan Snook, Unit Commissioner for the Pioneer Trails District of the Denver Area BSA Council; and David Casiano, Mayor for the Town of Parker.

“Of all those nominated, none was more qualified or deserving than Joe,” said Steven Best. “His record of service to the Boy Scouts of America and within his community is indeed impressive, as are the numerous recognitions he has received, which are testimony to the impact Joe has made upon all with whom he comes in contact. The number if scouts in Troop 88 achieving the Eagle Scout rank during Joe’s tenure as Scoutmaster is remarkable.”

Skalisky is Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 88 and Cub Scout Leader for Pack 649, both of Parker. In December 2007, He was honored with the Jim Adkins Award recognizing community leadership and civic participation.

“Joe was always the Scouter who would ‘step up’ when a lot of other leaders were not willing to do so,” said Allan Snook. “Joe is not only active in Scouting, but he is exceptionally active in the Parker and Douglas County communities. Joe has truly amazed me with his tireless energy and his devotion to Scouting and to the community in which he lives and works. He is very deserving of the Silver Beaver Award.”

“I have come to know, cherish, and respect Joe as a valuable citizen and friend,” said David Casiano. “He leads by example. Joe is fair, cheerful, enthusiastic, and follows businesslike procedures to accomplish objectives. He uses humor constructively and is quick to build rapport. In addition, Joe has come to love learning and promotes this love onto his friends, associates, and Scout members. He is a most valuable asset to the Town of Parker and Douglas County.”

Joe Skalisky earned his Colorado real estate license in 2001 and is a member of the Douglas/Elbert Realtor Association (DERA). Skalisky was honored by Colorado Community Newspapers as the “Best of the Best” real estate agent for 2007, a coveted award he also garnered the three previous years.
