Unami Annouces the 2012 Vigil Class
The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting. 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 beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position of office. The Vigil Honor cannot be earned by a person's conscious endeavor; it comes as recognition of unselfish leadership in service. It is said that the Vigil seeks its own. Unami Lodge is proud to announce the results of the 2012 Vigil nominations. Our brothers below will keep their Vigil at the May Service weekend at Resica Falls on May 18-20th. Please feel free to come out an join them for this historic occasion.
