Dr. Fred and Teena Broadrup Scouting Fund

Founded by Dr. Broadrup to support the activities and programming of the Frederick County Gathering of Eagles Association, Inc.

Fred and Teena were both involved in scouting from a young age. Fred was eight years old when he became involved with the scouts. Fred wanted to create this fund as a living legacy that will allow Teena and him to help future generations experience the joys of scouting and thrive into adulthood thanks to their involvement with scouting programs.

For Fred, scouting has been the most important and influential organization that he has been involved with during his entire life, not only as a youth, but as an adult as well. The tradition of scouting has deep roots in Fred’s family – both of his brothers were involved in scouting, and his parents became scout leaders in their adulthood, even though they had not been scouts as youths. Fred’s father rose to the level of District Chairman of the FSK District, a role that Fred eventually held as well.

Fred’s father was awarded the Silver Beaver, and later Fred was awarded that distinction as well. They are, to date, the only father-son duo to have both been awarded the Silver Beaver living in Frederick County.

This fund not only commemorates Fred’s and Teena’s involvement with scouting, but it also serves as an appreciation to Fred’s parents for their involvement and encouragement of their sons to join such an influential and worthwhile organization.
