The Vigil Honor is the highest honor that the Order of the Arrow can bestow upon its members for service to lodge, council, and Scouting.  Membership cannot be won by a person's conscious endeavors.

The Vigil Honor is a high mark of distinction and recognition reserved for those Arrowmen who, by reason of exceptional service, personal effort, and unselfish interest, have made distinguished contributions beyond the immediate responsibilities of their position of office to one or more of the following:

• Lodge

• Order of the Arrow

• Scouting community

• Scout Camp

The Silver Bell is awarded each year to a youth in the Netapolis Tachqwuiwi Chapter of the Order of the Arrow for outstanding service to the Lodge, Chapter, and Scouting at large.  Recipients are nominated by the Chapter advisors and is awarded at the annual district banquet.
