Founder's Award

The Founder’s Award was created to honor and recognize those Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to the lodge. The award is reserved for those Arrowmen who memorialize in their everyday life, the spirit of achievement as described by E. Urner Goodman. The award is a handsome bronze medallion bearing the likenesses of E. Urner Goodman and cofounder Carroll A. Edson, and wooden base with brass plate for engraving. The award is suitable for display at home or the office. Also available is the Founder’s Award arrow ribbon, similar to the universal arrow ribbon, except that it has a gold-colored arrow suspended from a red ribbon.

Lodges may petition the national Order of the Arrow committee to present up to four awards annually, based on lodge membership. If the lodge presents more then one award, at least one must be to a youth under the age of 21.
