Innovation Award


The Order of the Arrow Innovation Award was established in 2012 to recognize chapters and lodges for developing creative and innovative solutions to challenges faced during the implementation of their annual program plans. Two awards in each Region are presented annually.

The application process for this award is handled through the charter renewal wizard within OA LodgeMaster. Specific questions are asked to gather information, and award determination is made after the beginning of each year.
