The Alpha Phi Omega Natiuonal Service Fraternity, at its recently
concluded national convention in Denver, presented their first group of
Herbert G Horton Service to Youth Awards.
The Herbert G Horton - Service to Youth Award was established by Alpha
Phi Omega to recognize Brothers of Alpha Phi Omega, National Service
Fraternity, who are in good standing that have made significant
contribution to the youth of their communities by volunteering in the
programs of the Boy Scouts of America, and is one of a group of awards
that BSA has recognized as Boy Scout Community Organization Awards.
The recipients included:
Robert Amick, James Chandler, Craig Donais, Frank Evans, Clark Israel,
Lorin Jurvis, Joseph Kuchta, Michael Nathan, John Russell, Milton Smith,
Tom Strong, and Howard Wolf.
Robert Amick Gamma Theta
As a long time Brother and Advisor of the Gamma Theta Chapter (Univ of

standing service to Scouting programs in the nation. Bob is an active
member of the Fraternity's Scouting and Youth Service Committee. The
chapter conducts a Merit Badge University each year serving hundreds of
Scouts, sponsors a Venturing Crew and Sea Scout Ship, and support many
