Vigil Weekend

October 12 - 13, 2024
 

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 and Scout Camp.

Tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow should not be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.
