Vigil Recommendations are open

Vigil Sash

Lost in Serving Others…

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 and council, Scouting, and their community. 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. The Vigil Honor cannot be earned by a person’s conscious endeavor; it comes as a recognition of unselfish leadership in service . It is said that the Vigil seeks its own.

Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting, in good standing in a regularly chartered lodge, and who has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years is eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor.

The lodge is now taking recommendations through November 9, 2021 for the 2022 Vigil Class.

Recommendations form is now closed

Vigil Nominations Are Open

Nominations need to be received by October 3, 2020

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 Uh-To-Yeh-Hut-Tee Lodge, the Order of the Arrow, the Scouting community and Scout Camp.

Each year the lodge is allowed to nominate one member for every fifty active members of the lodge (rounded up to next fifty). Under NO circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor nomination. A nominee must currently be registered in Scouting, be member of the Order of the Arrow, active with  Uh-To-Yeh-Hut-Tee Lodge and been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years. Recipients of the Vigil Honor will be selected by secret ballot cast by the youth members of the selection committee. The results of the election will be secret until the recipients are called out before the Lodge assembled for that purpose.
