All members of the Lodge may participate in this incentive program. Beads are presented for participation in each of the Lodge’s events, as well as for holding various leadership positions and attendance at Section, Regional, and National Events. Its purpose is to recognize active Arrowman and to help Arrowmen chronicle their Lodge participation.
The beads are worn on a necklace of brown leather lace. Founder’s Award recipients are to wear a necklace of red cord. A deer antler toggle is to be worn on the necklace, denoting the arrowman’s honor level. Ordeal members wear a deer antler section with the hole drilled through the center of the base. Brotherhood members wear a piece of the antler shaft with the hole drilled through the side of the antler shaft. Vigil Honor members wear an antler tip with the hole drilled in the same manner as the Brotherhood piece. Beads earned for the current calendar year are placed on the necklace below the antler toggle and those earned in previous calendar years are worn above the antler toggle.
The lodge is to provide each arrowman with one necklace of appropriate color and antler toggle in the appropriate shape. New Ordeal members will receive their items at the completion of their Ordeal Ceremony. The administration of the Lodge Bead Program will be the responsibility of the Lodge Recruitment and Retention Committee. Should any lodge member earn a bead, they may contact the Chairman or Adviser of the Recruitment and Retention Committee to receive such. Should any further bead types or colors need to be added (tba) to the list provided for special events or new positions and awards, it must first be approved by the Lodge Executive Committee.
