The E. Urner Goodman Award was established in 1969 as a tribute and testimonial to the Order's founder, E. Urner Goodman. Its purpose is to encourage and challenge Order of the Arrow members and lodges to increase their effectiveness in promoting and increasing Scout camping in each council. Awards are presented to two outstanding lodges in each region annually. For a lodge to be eligible for consideration, the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award petition should be completed and forwarded with the lodge's charter renewal application.
The application process for this award is handled through the charter renewal wizard within OA LodgeMaster. Specific questions are asked to gather information, and award determination is made after the beginning of each year.
**The award may acknowledge a lodge's service of the previous year in which the award is presented.
