Calling all Arrowmen! Please vote!
Your Help in Nominating a Fellow Deserving Order of the Arrow Member is needed!
The Vigil Honor is the highest honor a Local Order of the Arrow Lodge can bestow upon its members. It is reserved for Order of the Arrow Members who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTIONS beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position or office.
Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good standing in a regularly chartered lodge is eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor provided that, at the time of the recommendation, the individual has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years. At least 50 percent of all nominated must be under 21 at the time of nomination.
It is now time to nominate OA members for the Vigil Honor. This is your opportunity to recognize the service an OA member has given to the Lodge and to Scouting. Let them know they are worthy of the Vigil Honor.
To nominate an Order of the Arrow Member for the Vigil Honor, you must complete the online form. Online submissions must be received by January 10th, 2027.
A Vigil nominee must be an active OA member in the lodge. This means the OA member must have paid their current dues. If the OA member is nominated and their dues are not current, the nomination will not be considered.
Only OA members with 2026-2027 dues paid (or recently merged Wahpekute members with 2026 dues paid) are listed in the OA Vigil Eligible lists. If you know of a worthy Vigil candidate and do not see their name on the lodge web site, encourage them to pay their dues. Their dues must be current by the time the Vigil nominations are processed.
You can find more information about the Vigil Nomination process on our web site.
Go to tnl-oa.org/vigil-eligible-list
The lists will be updated as dues payments are processed.
Nominations are DUE by January 10th, 2027
