Ajapeu Lodge #33 Founder’s Awards  

The Founder’s Award was created in 1981 by the National Order of the Arrow Committee to honor and recognize  those Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to the lodge.  The award is reserved for a member who demonstrates to their fellow Arrowmen that they memorialize in their everyday life the spirit of achievement as described by the Order’s founders, Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson. While the Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction, the Founder’s Award is used to recognize those Arrowmen, youth and adult, who have impacted the Lodge in a positive and lasting way. This is a rare and distinguished honor presented to recognize the spirit of our Founders visible in worthy Arrowmen. Nominations for the Founder’s Award ought to be taken seriously. Please provide as much information about the nominee as possible. In this way the Awards Selection Committee can make a fair assessment of the nominee’s contributions to the Lodge.
