Arrowman Service Award (2001-2003)

Foreword

The Arrowman Service Award was available in 2001, 2002, and 2003. The award is no longer available and may not be earned.

The Order of the Arrow's vision for the future emphasizes a strategy of increased service to the Boy Scouts of America by Arrowmen. To reward those Arrowmen who go beyond their immediate responsibilities to help and guide others to new heights, the Order of the Arrow created the Arrowman Service Award. The award will focus on three areas of service: personal, chapter/lodge activities, and general service to the community.

The attachment will be worn on the award's white ribbon. Signatures of approval will be required for each requirement.

Arrowman Service Award Design

The design selected will be the arrowhead with the compass rose. The compass rose symbolizes direction; the path ahead for one's travel. Since our strategic plan also offers direction for the Order's future, the compass rose is appropriately super-imposed over the arrowhead. The arrowhead will be red, with the compass rose in gold. A solid white ribbon, representing the new direction for the Order, is most appropriate. A wallet size certificate is issued with each award.
