Bradley receives the Distinguished Service Award
 Southern Region Chief From Pulaski, VA, twenty year-old Bradley L. is a Vigil Honor member of Tutelo Lodge of the Blue Ridge Mountains Council #599. He is an Eagle Scout from Troop 249, where he serves as an assistant Scoutmaster. Bradley is the section chief for S-7A. He has served as lodge chief, and on NLS staff. He has attended the 2004 and 2000 NOACs, and worked five years on summer camp staff. Bradley, a Bible & Religion / Spanish major at King College, enjoys drama, choir, ultimate frisbee, and intramural sports. When asked about the year ahead, he noted: "I am honored and humbled to be amoung such great company as my fellow officers. I believe this honor was only possible for me because of the leader the Order of the Arrow has created in me. I am very excited and look forward to the coming year."
The Distinguished Service Award was created in 1940 to honor those who rendered service to the Order beyond the lodge level. The award is presented to those Arrowmen who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, regional, or national basis. The award is presented every two years during NOAC. Since the time of the first awards were presented, approximately 500 Distinguished Service Awards have been presented. The award is a sterling silver arrowhead, bearing an arrow pointing upward and to the wearer's right, suspended from a white neck-ribbon upon which are embroidered red arrows. A white square knot embroidered upon red cloth is also available. Presentation of the award is limited; nominations are open to both youth and adult.
