Vigil Nomination Petitions Due June 1st!

The Vigil Honor

Alertness to the needs of others is the mark of the Vigil Honor. It calls for an individual with an unusual awareness of the possibilities within each situation.The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Membership cannot be won by a person’s conscious endeavors.The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction and recognition 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 of office to one or more of the following:
  • Lodge
  • Order of the Arrow
  • Scouting community
  • 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 Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor provided that, at the time of the recommendation, the individual has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years. A lodge may nominate a maximum of two percent of their registered Arrowmen once a year, through the Vigil Honor petition. At least 50 percent of all nominated must be under 21 at the time of nomination.

DUE$ for 2023 Now Due

It’s that time of year that dues for the new Lodge year are due. 

The Lodge Executive Committee (LEC) elected to return to the pre-COVID dues amount of $15 for 2023.

There are two ways to pay your 2023 dues; pay them online (see link below) or pay them at the Council Service Center. You will not be able to pay your dues through your unit any longer since units are using Scoutbook for recharter and there are no previsions for collecting lodge dues.

Shortly after paying your dues, within two weeks, you can go into your member portal and print your new 2023 ID card. Don’t have a member portal? Contact Danny Carman at dbcarman1@gmail.com and he can help with setting that up.
