11/03/23 – 11/05/23 OA Fall Fellowship

Our OA members went to their Fall Fellowship.

The Vigil Honor, the Order of the Arrow’s highest recognition, was awarded to Joseph Cohen something our Troop hasn’t seen since May 1990

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is composed of Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law (and this is the important part) as elected by their peers. There are 3 ranks in the OA: Ordeal, Brotherhood, and Vigil. The last rank is the hardest to obtain primarily because it requires a great deal of investment towards service and towards fulfilling a position in the lodge. To earn this honor a candidate must receive at least one more than half of the committee’s votes. Furthermore, the lodge is allowed to select one Vigil Honor member for every 50 members of the lodge.
