2022 Founder's Award Nominations

Click Here to Nominate for the Founder's Award

Fellow Lodge Members,

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 their 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, of any level, youth and adult, who have impacted the Lodge in a positive and lasting way. This is an extremely rare and distinguished honor presented to recognize the spirit of our Founders visible in worthy Arrowmen.

Nominations are given for exceptional and long-term service to Achpateuny Lodge. There can only be TWO Founder's Awards presented per year in Achpateuny Lodge.

Please provide as much information about the nominee as possible. In this way the Awards Selection Committee can make a fair assessment of the contributions of the nominee to the Lodge.

1. Be a member in good standing of Achpateuny Lodge #803 (2022 dues paid).
