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.
Leadership in Service Award
Criteria
Arrowmen must complete the following requirements each year
in which they earn the award:
- Give 8 hours of service participating in a lodge,
chapter, or council service project benefiting a local council
camp (lodge induction weekends do count). Service may be split
over two or more events.*
- Give 6 hours of service doing a community service project
planned and run by the lodge or chapter.**
*Working as camp staff does not fulfill the council service requirement.
**Lodges are encouraged to use the OA's
Lodge Community Service Guide
to aid them in planning community service projects.
The timeline for the Leadership in Service Award is a
graduated system that encourages Arrowmen to continue their
service from year to year. Requirements for the award can be
met during the calendar years of 2005, 2006, and 2007. Service
from a previous year cannot be carried over to meet the next
year's requirements. Arrowmen of all ages may earn the First
Year award in 2005, 2006 or 2007, the Second Year in 2006 or
2007, and the Third Year Award in 2007 only.

off by the Arrowman's Scoutmaster, Lodge Chief and Lodge
Advisers. Arrowmen should contact their lodge to obtain

lodge.The awards will be presented by the lodge at an
