Ken Frederick Award

Ken Frederick was the Scoutmaster of Tolono Troop 55, attended the 1953 National Jamboree, was an active Arrowman, and was an Indian Lore expert. He became the District Scout Executive for the Northern District of Arrowhead Council. During this time, he also served as an Assistant Director of Camp Drake. During the fall of 1957, he was returning home from a Scout Training Course in Champaign-Urbana when he was killed in an automobile accident.

The Ken Frederick Award was founded in 1957, shortly after his death, in memory of his contributions to scouting and the Order of the Arrow. It is awarded for a year of outstanding service to the Lodge.

Please note: the correct title of this award is the Ken Frederick Award, not the Ken Frederick’s Award.
