Quality Lodge

The National Order of the Arrow committee has developed the Quality Lodge program to aid lodges in program development. It provides a guide for good lodge administration and recognizes a level of excellence in lodge program and operation.

For a list of Quality Lodge Award recipients, please visit the Quality Lodge Recognition page.

To be considered for National Quality Lodge recognition, the lodge must have filed its charter renewal by December 31st with appropriate fees and achieved the necessary items on the Quality Lodge Recognition Petition. A copy of the petition is included annually in each lodge's charter renewal kit. The requirements form an overall plan and guide that help ensure a successful lodge program. Achieving National Quality Lodge status is required to apply for all national lodge awards and recognitions.

Below are resources to help with the education and attainment of Quality Lodge recognition.
