Founders' Award
Aal-Pa-Tah Home » Our Lodge » Awards » Founders' Award
The Founders' Award was created in 1981 to honor Arrowmen in the Order of the Arrow for unselfish service above and beyond their normal duties to their Lodge. In the 27 years since it was created, only 14 youth and 15 adults have been presented with the award from Aal-Pa-Tah Lodge. Our lodge can present up to 2 awards annually, and if two are presented, one must go to a youth under the age of 21. The award is reserved for those Arrowmen who memorialize in their everyday life, the spirit of achievement as described by founder E. Urner Goodman.
