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 a service to lodge, council, and Scouting. Membership in the Vigil Honor 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: Coosa Lodge, Order of the Arrow, Scouting community, and Scout Camp.

Tenure in Scouting is not reason enough to be considered for a Vigil Honor recommendation. Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good standing and dues paid in Coosa Lodge and has been a Brotherhood Member for a minimum of two years can be considered by this year's Vigil Honor Selection Committee.

Please consider submitting the nomination form below for a deserving Arrowman. These should be emailed to BOTH Christopher Arnold, christopherarnold.2011@gmail.com AND Erick Simmons, erick.simmons@scouting.org by May 24th.
