Founder's Award
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 the 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.
