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.
