James E. West Fellowship Award
The James E. West Fellowship Award was started in 2001 as a $1,000 donation from Illini Lodge to Prairielands Council in the name of an Arrowman who showed outstanding service to the lodge and council. This fellowship is granted to one individual per year and may be presented to either a youth or an adult. The recipient may also wear a knot on their uniform in recognition of receiving this award.
