Papago Service Award
leadinservice-sm.gif (2315 bytes) In recognition of the Order of the Arrow's heritage of service, the National Order of the Arrow Committee created a new three-year Leadership in Service Program which was announced at the 2004 NOAC. The Order strives to strengthen Scouting's foundation of service by further fostering in Arrowmen the ethic of servant leadership. By promoting and rewarding service that benefits the Boy Scouts of America's outdoor program, and the communities in which Scouts reside, the Order will be acting to support Scouting at the most important level.

Leadership in Service Award Criteria

Arrowmen must complete the following requirements each year in which they earn the award:

Give 8 hours of service participating in a lodge, chapter, or council service project benefiting a local council camp (lodge induction weekends do count). Service may be split over two or more events.*

Give 6 hours of service doing a community service project planned and run by the lodge or chapter.

*Working as camp staff does not fulfill the council service requirement.
