The Founders' Award

From the National OA Site:
"Introduced at the 1981 National Order of the Arrow Conference, the Founder's Award
was created to honor and recognize those Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to
their lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowmen who demonstrates to fellow Arrowmen
that he or she memorializes in his or her everyday life the spirit of achievement as
described by founder E. Urner Goodman and cofounder Carroll A. Edson.
"The Award is a handsome bronze medallion bearing the likenesses of E. Urner Goodman
and cofounder Carroll A. Edson, with wooden base and brass plate suitable for engraving.
Also available is a special Founder's Award arrow ribbon, with a gold colored arrow
suspended from a red ribbon.
"Lodges may petition the national Order of the Arrow Committee to present up to four awards
annually, based on lodge membership. If the lodge presents
more than one award, one must be to a youth under the age of 21. Nominations must be made
on form No. 24-137.
Currently, Ranachqua Lodge is eligible to nominate two recipients. Recommendations for the
Founders' Award are made by the Vigil Honor Nominating Committee. The list of all Ranachqua Lodge
recipients is below.
