Quality Lodge

• To be eligible for National Quality Lodge
  designation, the completed lodge recharter
  application and appropriate fees must now be
  received in the national office by December 31st
  of each year. This change will be effective with
  this fall's rechartering, so lodge leadership
  should plan accordingly.

E. Urner Goodman Camping Award

• The award was established in 1969 as a tribute
  and testimonial to the Order's founder, E. Urner
  Goodman. Its purpose is to encourage and
  challenge Order of the Arrow members and lodges
  to increase their effectiveness in promoting and
  increasing Scout camping in each council. Awards
  are presented to two outstanding lodges in each
  region annually. For a lodge to be eligible for
  consideration, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award
  petition should be completed and forwarded with
  the lodge's charter renewal application.

6
National Service Award

• The National Service Award was established in
  1999 to recognize lodges in each region that have
  performed outstanding service, both in a
  qualitative and a quantitative sense, to their
  council. The National Service Award Petition is
  submitted along with the lodge recharter
  application. To be considered for the National
  Service Award, a lodge must be certified as a
  National Quality Lodge the year in which the
  National Service Award Petition is submitted. Two
  lodges per region will be granted National
  Service Award each year.

7
National Service Award

• The National Service Award petition requires
  lodges to submit information on current lodge
  membership (the size of a lodge is a factor when
  considering the magnitude of the service it has
  provided), a detailed description of the largest
  and most meaningful service project the lodge has
  completed for its council, and a record of all
  service performed by the lodge for the council
  since the last recharter process. Service for
  this award is defined as any project that has
  directly benefited the Scouting program in the
  council.

• The purpose of the scholarship program is to
  assist Arrowmen preparing for a professional
  Scouting career by helping them to fulfill the
  financial obligations of their college education.
  Dr. Goodman believed strongly that a professional
  career in Scouting provided an excellent method
  of serving one's fellow man. The program was
  established as a meaningful living memorial to
  the founder of the Order and to help provide
  needed resources that will perpetuate continued
  high-caliber, service minded individuals
  dedicated to professional Scouting and service.
  Scholarship applications may be acquired from the
  national office and must be submitted by January
  15 for scholarships granted the following year.

Leadership in Service Award (2005-2007)

• In recognition of the Order of the Arrow's
  heritage of service, the National Order of the
  Arrow Committee created a new three-year
  Leadership in Service Program which was announced
  at the 2004 NOAC. The Order strives to strengthen
  Scouting's foundation of service by further
  fostering in Arrowmen the ethic of servant
  leadership. By promoting and rewarding service
  that benefits the Boy Scouts of America's outdoor
  program, and the communities in which Scouts
  reside, the Order will be acting to support
  Scouting at the most important level.

13
