During the 2008 Family Banquet held Saturday, March 15, 2008 at Peters Township High School, the 2008 Vigil Honor Class was named for Vigil Class Honoree Fr. James Richard Orr.

Any member of the Order Of The Arrow registered in scouting and in good standing with their Lodge is eligible for recommendation for elevation to the Vigil Honor, provided that the individual has been a brotherhood member for a minimum of two years.

However, the Vigil Honor is a distinction worn proudly and more than just a handsomely decorated certificate. The Vigil Honor is the highest level an individual can receive in the Order Of The Arrow, and it is also the hardest to achieve. In no manner is tenure in scouting or the order reason to receive the Vigil Honor. It is an award in which written rules do not determine and individuals qualifications for, but rather what the actions that he or she performs. For this reason, each member is given careful consideration in the selection of Vigil Honor candidates. Read More...

Chiefly Speaking - March 2008
For everyone that is not aware of the great deeds that our lodge has done, listen up. In January, the Lodge passed a motion that allocated $7,000 to purchases projectors, laptops, and speakers for the Council, Districts, and also individual Units to use. The reason for purchasing this equipment is to make camp promotion, a goal of the Order of the Arrow, more feasible at all levels. These projectors and laptops can be signed out at the front desk of Flag Plaza for any Unit or District that would like to use them to enhance their program. Arrowman, it is your responsibility to spread the word of their existence and of their availability for your Unit, to help your Unit and the Units in your District to grow! Read More...
