Order of the Arrow Lodge 560
James (Jimmy) Arthurs was a long-time scouter in the Piedmont Council impacting many youth and adults through his volunteerism at the local unit, district and council levels. A life long resident of Mooresville, NC, Jimmy was an Eagle Scout and a recipient of the District Award of Merit, Silver Beaver, Founder’s Award amongst other things, and was a Vigil Honor Member of the Eswau Huppeday Lodge where he served as the Lodge Treasurer Advisor for decades.
The James C. Arthurs Memorial Scouting Scholarship Fund is the project of former Lodge Chiefs of Eswau Huppeday Lodge who were lucky enough to be mentored by Jimmy and to call him a friend. Because he had such an impact individually and collectively, the brain-trust of this fund wanted to ensure that his memory/legacy continues to live on. Jimmy was an avid attender of many Scouting events; especially the National Order of the Arrow Conference (NOAC). Because NOAC is a special event that can be transformational and beneficial to all attendees, especially the youth, it was decided that the fund would go to pay the NOAC registration fee for Scouts who will be 17 or younger at the time of the NOAC.
This fund is funded purely by the donations of its benefactors with no tax advantages. That’s how much Jimmy meant to its benefactors. It is meant to be “needs based” meaning the Scout would not be able to go without the funds that this fund provides. Additionally, there is an application’s process that is outlined in a subsequent section of this form.

The Vigil Honor is unique. It is the highest honor that an Order of the Arrow Lodge can bestow on its members. The Vigil honor is not earned; it is given to honor someone for going above and beyond the description of his or her position in scouting, for the greater good the lodge and Scouting.
Under no circumstances should tenure in Scouting or the Order of the Arrow be considered as reason enough for a Vigil Honor recommendation.
To be eligible for consideration for the Vigil Honor, an Arrowman must have been a Brotherhood member for at least two years at the time of the Lodge Vigil selection meeting; and a member in good standing with the Piedmont Council, BSA and Eswau Huppeday Lodge #560 (registered with dues paid).
All brothers in the list below are verified eligible for nomination of the Vigil Honor. They are grouped by Chapter. Both adults and youth can be nominated.
To nominate a brother, use the online nomination form below.
