Russ Dutcher Award
The Russ Dutcher Award for Distinguished Service, established in 2002, is an honor named for longtime YBRA supporter Prof. Russell R. Dutcher, who was instrumental in organization operations for several decades, serving on the YBRA Council (Board) as President and as Camp Manager. The Dutcher Award is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a YBRA member and recognizes exceptional service to the YBRA by individuals involved in the administration, management, and operation of the organization. The nameplate plaque, crowned by a picture of Russ Dutcher and the outline of Mount Maurice, resides on the fireplace mantle next to the kitchen in the Fanshawe Lodge.
