VIGIL NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS

It is time to begin the selection process for the Vigil Honor. This process requires information that you, the nominator, must provide to aid the selection committee. The nomination form has been designed to make this process clearer and easier. Please fill out the nomination form with as much information as possible that best describes the nominee as a Vigil Honor candidate. This excerpt from the Order of the Arrow Handbook will help you understand the qualities of a Vigil Honor member:

"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 or 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 active member of Ajapeu Lodge can nominate any lodge member, provided that the nominee:

  • Is registered in some capacity with the Bucks County Council
  • Is an active (current dues paid) member of the Lodge
  • Has completed two years as a Brotherhood member as of May 1st of the year in which they are nominated.

The submission of a completed nomination form does not in any way guarantee that the nominee will be selected for the Honor. Elections and final approval of all candidates rest with the Lodge Vigil Committee and the National Order of the Arrow Committee. Any Arrowmen who were nominated in the previous year must be re-nominated to be eligible for selection. Send completed forms to:
