First and Last Name Change Option for Founder’s Award and Vigil Honor Certificates
In an effort to be inclusive to all Arrowmen, the Order of the Arrow is offering the opportunity for name changes on Vigil and Founder’s award certificates. Arrowmen may need to change their names for many different reasons including marriage, divorce or a change in gender identity. Transgender Arrowmen and those who do not associate with a gender face challenges in everyday life and this is one way that the Order of the Arrow can express its acceptance and support of these individuals.
