In recognition of the Order of the Arrow's heritage of service,
the National Order of the Arrow Committee created a three-year Leadership
in Service Award 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.
The timeline for the Leadership in Service Award was a graduated
system that encourages Arrowmen to continue their service from year
to year. Requirements for the award could be met during the calendar
years of 2005, 2006, and 2007. |
Service from a previous year could not be carried over
to meet the next year's requirements. Arrowmen of all ages could 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.
Arrowmen must have completed the following requirements
for the Leadership In Service Award each year in which they were to 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.
