How Can We Help?
Founder’s Award
Background
The Founder’s Award was introduced at the 1981 National Order of the Arrow Conference. The Founder’s Award recognizes Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to their Lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowman who demonstrates that he or she personifies the spirit of selfless service, as advocated by founder E. Urner Goodman and cofounder Carroll A. Edson.
From the Ordeal Ceremony: For said he, who serves his fellow, is of his fellows, greatest. This is inscribed on the back of the medallion.
Founder’s Award Recipients receive a Certificate, Medallion with Base, and
a solid red ribbon with a gold arrow to be worn off of the right pocket of a BSA uniform.
