And if I recall correctly, Vigil cannot be "earned." It's an honor that is bestowed by fellow Arrowmen.
And you're right that, if they're 5th graders, it would be Arrow of Light, not OA. Often, Arrow of Light is awarded at the same ceremony where boys bridge up to Boy Scouts, since a few of the requirements are likely to happen in the months leading up to bridging. Lots of packs look for ways to "liven" it up -- our Cubmaster is looking into having some OA members come next year for our boys. It sounds like carnation's pack went for an OA-inspired Arrow of Light ceremony.
