Albert Drompp Receives Lamb Award For Scouters AlbertF. Drompp.aScoutsince 1911, received "The Lamb Award" at the conclusion of the Sunday morning worship service at St. James Lutheran Church. The Rev. Alfred C.

Gerni, pastor, bestowed the coveted national honor on Drompp, who, according to records available, is the first person in Three Rivers Boy Scout Council to receive it. He is among the approximately 40 Lutheran Scouters who received "The Lamb Award" this year. Howard E. Gibson, executive of Three Rivers Council, BSA, and a member of St. James, said the Award for adult Scouters and pastors who are Lutheran is made available in cooperation with the Boy Scouts of America.

Its purpose is to acknowledge distinguished service by Lutheran laymen and pastors leading toward the physical, mental, moral and spiritual development of boys through service to the church and its Scouting program on all levels. Drompp was a delegate to the district Lutheran convention six times and also a delegate to the synodical convention. He served as secretary, financial secretary to the congregation and was trustee, elder and president at St. James. Following his employment in a managerial position in the Logansport Post Office, Drompp, because of the need, became custodian at St.

James until his health forced him to retire last year. In this capacity, his wife, Eleanor, was at his side. "Al, as a co-worker in God's kingdom, is easy to work with, sober in judgment but not restricted in outlook to the local parish," said Rev. Gerni. "His willingness to serve repeatedly as delegate to our Central District conventions plus service as lay delegate to the Central Convention of Synod in Cleveland in 1963 testify amply to his broader interests."

James, said Drompp's nearest and dearest civic interest is Scouting. "He has been associated actively for more than 50 years with the Boy Scouts of America. The span of his activities from Tender foot to Eagle through Scoutmaster, member of the board and one who received the "Silver Beaver" are all contained in the records of the district council," said Judge Riesling. Al and his brother, Dan, are the only Scouts in Logansport who have been continuously registered with Troop 202 which was in October, 1911, by Lewis Oren Wetzel, a veteran of the Spanish American War. Al joined the troop in 1913, along with hundreds of other boys, in order to help with the devastation caused by the flood here.

In a letter to the Lutheran CouncilinNew York City, Gibson epitomized Drompp's dedication to the Boy Scouts when he said, "Drompp serves actively with the committee of the first troop that he joined and is Advancement Chairman for the Scout Troop at his church which he helped to form. He serves actively as a neighborhood commissioner in the district and on our board for the council. In addition to these regular jobs, he seems always available for special assignments. I think most any council would find it difficult to locate a better qualified individual," Drompp, who was executive of the Council from 1930 until 1937, left his job on the Pennsylvania Railroad and took a national training course in Tarrytown, N.Y. in order to qualify for the position.

Scout activity at St. James was working with three Scouts who became the first at the church to receive the Pro Deo Et Patria. He prepared and conducted the presentation with Rev. Gerni. The most touching recommendation of Drompp for the Lamb award came from Mickey Myers, a member of Troop 202 at Jefferson School.

In a letter to Gibson, Myers said, "Mr. Drompp will do everything possible to help a boy to reach a higher rank in Scouting. Personally, he has helped me in many ways to reach my present rank as a Life Scout. Now, he is helping me to receive my Eagle award. along with many Scouts over the years, owe Mr.

Drompp a great deal. I know I can speak for a great number of us when I say, 'Mr. Al Drompp is worthy of the Lamb Taking part in the presentation, in addition to Rev. Gerni and Gibson, were Joseph Riesling, president of the congregation, and Robert Scoutmaster of Troop 209 at St. James.

Following the service, Drompp and his wife, Eleanor, were congratulated by members of the congregation. Drompp's two daughters and their families from Indianapolis attended the service.
