Lodge of the Year Award

SR-7A Lodge of the Year AwardFirst presented in 2012, the Lodge of the Year Award recognizes the most exceptional lodge in Section E9.  The evaluation is based on the lodge’s ability to fulfill the basic purposes of the Order of the Arrow and to participate in section events.  Lodges score themselves on objective criteria that are distributed prior to Conclave. The lodge that scores the most points will receive the Lodge of the Year recognition for that year.  The 2024 Lodge of the Year Award application will be posted soon. May the best lodge win!
