The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its brothers to recognize their service to the lodge, to the council, or to Scouting. Recipients of this honor have indeed proven themselves to be unselfish in their service and devotion to the welfare of others. The brothers of Eswau Huppeday wish to congratulate our 2022 Vigil Honor Class: Sam Williams, Abby Pearson, Tyson Berg, Wayne Byers, Kevin Goettge, Thomas Williams, and Hannah Hamrick.
Fall Fellowship will be Sept. 16-18 at Camp Bud Schiele. There are tons of events and training opportunities for you to enjoy. Have a look at the schedules of planned events and training cells below and please take the time to register today. We look forward to seeing you!
