    4. Quality Lodge To be eligible for National Quality Lodge designation, the completed lodge recharter application and appropriate fees must now be received in the national office by December 31st of each year. This change will be effective with this fall's rechartering, so lodge leadership should plan accordingly.

    5. E. Urner Goodman Camping Award The award was established in 1969 as a tribute and testimonial to the Order's founder, E. Urner Goodman. Its purpose is to encourage and challenge Order of the Arrow members and lodges to increase their effectiveness in promoting and increasing Scout camping in each council. Awards are presented to two outstanding lodges in each region annually. For a lodge to be eligible for consideration, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award petition should be completed and forwarded with the lodge's charter renewal application.

    6. National Service Award The National Service Award was established in 1999 to recognize lodges in each region that have performed outstanding service, both in a qualitative and a quantitative sense, to their council. The National Service Award Petition is submitted along with the lodge recharter application. To be considered for the National Service Award, a lodge must be certified as a National Quality Lodge the year in which the National Service Award Petition is submitted. Two lodges per region will be granted National Service Award each year.

    7. National Service Award The National Service Award petition requires lodges to submit information on current lodge membership (the size of a lodge is a factor when considering the magnitude of the service it has provided), a detailed description of the largest and most meaningful service project the lodge has completed for its council, and a record of all service performed by the lodge for the council since the last recharter process. Service for this award is defined as any project that has directly benefited the Scouting program in the council.

    10. E. Urner Goodman Scholarship Fund The purpose of the scholarship program is to assist Arrowmen preparing for a professional Scouting career by helping them to fulfill the financial obligations of their college education. Dr. Goodman believed strongly that a professional career in Scouting provided an excellent method of serving one's fellow man. The program was established as a meaningful living memorial to the founder of the Order and to help provide needed resources that will perpetuate continued high-caliber, service minded individuals dedicated to professional Scouting and service. Scholarship applications may be acquired from the national office and must be submitted by January 15 for scholarships granted the following year.

    12. Leadership in Service Award (2005-2007) In recognition of the Order of the Arrow's heritage of service, the National Order of the Arrow Committee created a new three-year Leadership in Service Program which was announced at the 2004 NOAC. The Order strives to strengthen Scouting's foundation of service by further fostering in Arrowmen the ethic of servant leadership. By promoting and rewarding service that benefits the Boy Scouts of America's outdoor program, and the communities in which Scouts reside, the Order will be acting to support Scouting at the most important level.

    13. Leadership in Service Award (2005-2007) The timeline for the Leadership in Service Award is a graduated system that encourages Arrowmen to continue their service from year to year. Requirements for the award can be met during the calendar years of 2005, 2006, and 2007. Service from a previous year cannot be carried over to meet the next year's requirements. Arrowmen of all ages may earn the First Year award in 2005, 2006 or 2007, the Second Year in 2006 or 2007, and the Third Year Award in 2007 only. Signatures for the requirements of this award may be signed off by the Arrowman's Scoutmaster, Lodge Chief and Lodge Advisers. Arrowmen should contact their lodge to obtain sign-off forms. Completed forms should be returned to the lodge.The awards will be presented by the lodge at an appropriate occasion. http://live.oa-bsa.org/events/n2004/live/tuemorn/Leadershipservice/leadinservice.htm
