This award was created in 1981 by the Nampa-Tsi Lodge to honor and recognize lodge members who have given distinguished service to the Lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting, and the Great Rivers Council long-term camping program. The award was named in honor of long-time Scouter and Arrowman Fred A. Zimmann. Mr. Zimmann offered countless hours of service to this council and was once a member of Baden-Powell’s troop.
