Centurion Award

Order of the Arrow Centurion Award

For nearly 100 years, the Order of the Arrow has purposefully recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. Therefore, our organization’s centennial provides a unique opportunity to commemorate those among us who are exemplars of the “high ideals and purpose of the Order of the Arrow.” The Centurion Award aims to highlight “Hometown Heroes,” or Arrowmen who have meaningfully contributed to the forming, maturing and ongoing operational excellence of their local council’s lodge, and who, in doing so, inspired others to follow in their footsteps.

Youth with thee years of service and adults with six years of service can be nominated. Adults can be nominated for their service as a youth.

Recipients are not required to be a current registered member in Scouting. They must have been a registered Scout or Scouter at the time of their service. Awards may be given posthumously. More details can be found at – “Hometown Hero”

If you wish to nominate a person who you think best demonstrates a commitment to cheerful service, please fill out the Centurion Award Petition.
