The Vigil Honor

A high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position or office to one or more of the following: their lodge, the Order of the Arrow, Scouting or their Scout camp. Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.

Candidates for Nomination

• Currently registered and active with the Texas Trails Council, BSA, and
• Currently registered (dues paid) and an active member of Penateka Lodge #561, Order of the Arrow
