Vigil Honor

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.

Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow nor family legacy be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.

In order to be eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for the Vigil Honor, an Arrowman must serve a minimum of 2 years as a Brotherhood member.

A lodge may nominate up to their registered Arrowmen once a year. At least 50% of all nominated must be under 21 at the time of nomination. The most that can be nominated for any given year is based on the following table:

Total Lodge Membership Maximum Number of Nominations
0 - 99 2
100 - 149 3
150 - 199 4
200 - 249 5
250 - 299 6
300 - 348 7
350 - 399 8
400 - 449 9
450 - 499 10
500 or more Ration 1 - 50

Vigil nominations are open to all Quelqueshoe Lodge members in the fall and the Vigil selection committee votes on the recipients. The recipients are then recognized at the Winter Ordeal. These honored Arrowmen are then invited to participate in the Vigil induction which is the first weekend in January.
