Chapter Lewis & Clark Award   

This award is given to one Companion from each Region who has demonstrated service, above and beyond the call of duty.  Eligibility need not be limited to Officers, or those who excel in Ritual, but may be awarded to those behind the scenes who, without their presence, would be sorely missed.

It is the responsibility of the District Deputy Grand High Priest to make nomination from his Region and District to the Grand High Priest.  The Grand High Priest may accept this nomination, or, if no nomination is received, make award to the Companion of his choice.

There is only one Lewis and Clark award per Region per year.  The Award may not be given to a Grand Chapter Officer.  There are no other provisions governing the award.

We proudly acknowledge these Missouri Companions who have distinguished themselves above and beyond the call of duty, and received for their labors the Grand Chapter of Missouri Lewis & Clark Award
