Lodge Receives Goodman Camping Award
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.
Jaccos Towne Lodge has made a concentrated effort to do summer camp promotions in all units and to work with District Camping Committees to promote camping. That effort has been recognized by the National Order of the Arrow Committee with the E. Urner Goodman Camping Award!
