The Chief's Award was created in 2011 to honor youth and adults who have given exceptional service to the lodge throughout the past calendar year. The lodge chief typically selects six or less recipients who they feel are deserving. If the chief believes no one is deserving, then the award may not be presented. Adults can only be awarded as long as youth will be awarded, and the amount of adults awarded should be less than or equal to the youth recipients. This is a lodge specific award.
As of December 2023, Talako Lodge has presented 60 Arrowmen with the Chief's Award (39 youth and 21 adults):
