Vigil
Honor
 
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: 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 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, found in the annual re-charter packet.
At least 50 percent of all nominated must be under 21 at
the time of nomination.
The
Vigil Committee selects the top few members from the nomination list to
become Vigil candidates. The candidates must complete their Vigil
weekend before receiving the honor.
