The report is located on our lodge web site at Select forms, and then submit a chapter report. Also, you should be in contact with your Sector vice Chief and Sector Advisor. They are your links to the lodge. They should be helping you with Chapter needs and working with you to plan your activities like fellowships if you want them to. It is vital that we know what your chapter is doing, and how you re serving in the community. The reports help us to do this. They also help you to have a chance to be Chapter of the Year.

BJ Memmott was the only Youth that attended and was praised by others that he came and no other youth. Jay Thomas being the current oldest Vigil Honor member in the lodge spoke and told stories that made us all laugh but he also reminded us that getting the Vigil Honor is the beginning not the end to our service to the Order of the Arrow and that when youth get their Vigil they should not disappear but spend even more effort to server others.
