The Arrow of Honor is the highest honor that Section G16 can bestow upon its members. It represents a firm dedication to the highest ideals of service and achievement within Scouting and the Order of the Arrow.
Arrowmen eligible for the honor must be nominated by their peers, in addition to one of the Key 3 from the nominee’s lodge—the lodge chief, lodge adviser, or lodge staff adviser.
