      <title>Vigil Honor Nominations</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://shacbsa.org/fall-fellowship" target="_blank"><img alt="Vigil" class="image-left" height="185" src="https://shacbsa.org//Data/Sites/1/media/graphics/vigil-honor-315x292.jpg" width="200" /></a>The Vigil Honor is the highest honor the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members. Alertness to the needs of others is the mark of the Vigil Honor. It calls for an individual with an unusual awareness of the possibilities within each situation. The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions to one or more of the following: the lodge, Order of the Arrow, Scouting community, or their Scout camps.</p>

<p>Any member of the Order of the Arrow registered in Scouting and in good standing in a regularly chartered lodge is eligible for recommendation to the National Order of the Arrow Committee for elevation to the Vigil Honor provided that, at the time of the recommendation, the individual has been a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years. Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation. To be eligible for the Vigil Honor, the individual must be a Brotherhood member for a minimum of two years.</p>
