Vigil Honor Notes and Milestones

• The names of the first nine Vigil Honor members were selected with the intentions of forming triangles in the sky.
  • Sirius (Frank Bailey), Procyon (Clyde Nason, Jr.), and Betelguese (Donald Richards) form the Winter Triangle.
  • Deneb (John Willis), Vega (Dana Nason), and Altair (Clyde Nason, Sr.) form the Summer Triangle.
  • Pollux (Winslow Tobey), Capella (David Larsen), and Aldebaran (Frank Maguire) form a third triangle.
• Fred Foster was nominated in 1960 for the Vigil Honor, and his nomination was accepted by the National Committee, with the name Auriga, the Charioteer, but declined to accept the Vigil Honor and did not keep the Vigil. Fred stated that he did not feel worthy of the honor. He was a charter member of the Lodge and Camp Hinds Ranger from 1950 through 1966.
  
  
• John Cyr, in 1970, was the first Vigil Honor member of the Lodge to receive a Lenni Lenape Vigil name. Previously, all names were based on stars and constellations. The change to use Lenni Lenape names was made because the Lodge was running out of stars and constellations.
  
  
• Judith Andrews, in 1998, is the first female Vigil Honor member of Madockawanda Lodge.
