Silvestre, who had arrived in Greece earlier, avoided the plane crash of July 28, 1963, when the bulk of the Philippine contingent died en route to the 11th World Scout Jamboree in Marathon, Greece.

Silvestre conducted a management survey authorized by Henry C. Ma in 1975, which resulted in reforms of the Scout Association of Hong Kong.[1]

In 1977, Silvestre was awarded the 123rd Bronze Wolf, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting.[2]
