Order Of The Arrow Honors And Awards
It is important to distinguish between awards, honors, and membership levels in the Order of the Arrow – the honor camping society of the Boy Scouts of America. The Founder's Award, the Red Arrow Award, and the Distinguished Service Award are all awards. Any of the awards of the Order of the Arrow (OA) may be presented to an individual regardless of which membership level he or she has achieved. The Vigil Honor may only be presented to Brotherhood Members.
The two membership levels of the OA are Ordeal and Brotherhood. Recipients of the Vigil Honor are still Brotherhood members, but have been recognized by their Lodge, and the National Committee, for their continued service and dedication to the order.
