James E. West Fellowship Award

Since 2012, Tipisa Lodge has annually recognized one youth member with the James E. West award. Because the lodge donates over $1,000 to the Council Endowment every year, Central Florida Council allows the lodge to recognize one member with a James E. West fellowship. The adults of the LEC select a ballot of youth leaders who exemplify fellowship: those Arrowmen whose work helps define Brotherhood in today’s world and demonstrate a sincere and fruitful effort to develop their fellow leaders in that definition of Brotherhood. At the preceding Service Weekend, every attendee has the opportunity to vote for one of the youth leaders, who is then recognized at the Lodge banquet.
