OA LEADERSHIP
IN SERVICE AWARD - The Leadership in Service Award is
a special award program introduced at the 2004 NOAC that will
be in effect until the end of 2007. It is designed to recognize
Arrowmen who give service to their camp and community. A full
explanation of the award can be found here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Arrowmen must apply for this award.
Use this
form to record service hours and then turn it in to the
Council Service Center or at a lodge function
to receive the award. |
| FOUNDER'S AWARD
- The Founder's Award was created to honor and recognize those
Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to the lodge.
The award is reserved for an Arrowman who demonstrates to
fellow Arrowmen that he or she memorializes in his or her
everyday life the spirit of achievement as described by founder
E. Urner Goodman. Lodges may petition the National OA Committee
to present up to four awards annually, depending
on lodge membership. |

VIGIL HONOR
- The Vigil Honor is reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason
of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest,
have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate
responsibilities of their position or office to one or more
of the following: their lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting,
or their Scout camp. Under no circumstances should tenure
in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason
enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation. Any member
of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good
standing in a regularly chartered lodge is eligible for recommendation
to the National OA Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor,
provided that at the time of recommendation the individual
has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of 2 years. In
Semialachee Lodge 239, a Vigil Selection committee meets annually
to review and select Vigil Honor candidates. Members of the
Vigil Selection committee consist of anyone who is not eligible
for selection, including current Vigil Honor recipients. |
