Cambria County Judge Norman A. Krumenacker III, who’s been involved in Scouting since he was 12 years old, has been awarded the Silver Antelope Award for his volunteer work with the Boy Scouts.
The Silver Antelope is the second highest award presented by the national Boy Scouts of America and recognizes adults for outstanding service to youth.
Krumenacker was one of nine people given Silver Antelopes at a Northeast Region conference in San Diego. The region covers the Northeastern U.S., the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Europe.
Krumenacker, 54, of Westmont, traces his roots in Scouting back to when he became a Tenderfoot at age 12 with the former Troop 11 at Westmont Presbyterian Church.
He rose through the ranks and eventually became an Eagle Scout-Order of the Arrow. As an adult, he has served as an assistant Scoutmaster, a district commissioner and chairman in Greater Johnstown, president of the Penns Woods Council and on the staff of three national jamborees.
Currently, he is president of the Boy Scouts Area 4, which covers Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and part of New Jersey. For his work with the council, he previously was given the Silver Beaver Award, the third highest national award.
Krumenacker also is president of both the Conemaugh Health System and the Good Samaritan Medical Center boards, president of the Pennsylvania Conference of State Trial Judges and is active in the National Conference of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.
In county court, he handles the Children & Youth Services cases and has participated in programs on foster family training, child abuse and other youth-related issues.
