Outstanding Service Award

The Outstanding Service Awards are also given at the Lodge Banquet. The award is for the youth and the adult who contributed the most to the lodge in the immediate prior year. Service to the chapter is considered equitable to service to the lodge. Because the award is for a single year at a time, it is possible for an Arrowman to receive it more than once (which has happened twice.) The youth is selected by the adult advisers on the Lodge Executive Committee, and the adult is selected by secret ballot of the youth members. If there is a tie, there is more discussion and a second vote is taken. If there is a second tie, that result is kept secret, and two awards are given.

Because Tipisa had its Outstanding Service Award for many years before National made a Founders’ Award available, Tipisa decided to use the Founders’ Award to recognize “service to the lodge over a period of many years.” That period would, of course, be much longer for an adult than for a youth. That year’s Founder’s Award recipients are announced and recognized at the Saturday evening show at each Spring Conclave.

Past recipients can be found in the Tipisa History Book (2019 ed)
