Order of the Arrow Founders Award Pin

In 1981, the National Order of the Arrow committee established a new award in memory of founder and co-founder E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson. The Founders’ Award was created to honor and recognize those Arrowmen who have given outstanding service to a lodge. The award is reserved for an Arrowman who demonstrates to fellow Arrowmen that he or she memorializes in his or her daily life the spirit of service as described by our founders. The following inscription on the award medallion describes the spirit of the award: “For he who serves his fellows is, of all his fellows, greatest.” The Founder’s Award ribbon, similar to the universal arrow ribbon, is a gold-colored arrow suspended from a red ribbon, and a certificate. Medallion, ribbon, and certificate sold separately.
