The Degree of Chevalier is the highest honor that an active DeMolay can receive. This honor also may be granted to a Senior DeMolay. The Degree is a citation for outstanding and marked DeMolay activity and labor. The nominee must be a minimum of 17 years of age on January 15th of the year nominated, and have been a member in good standing for at least two years as of that date.
The degree cannot be applied for, and the nomination is made without the knowledge of the DeMolay to be honored. The unanimous vote of the ISC at its regular Session is required to elect a nominee.
Advisory Councils make recommendations
to the Oregon Executive Officer of the jurisdiction. Nomination forms
are available from the Oregon Executive Officer. The nominations
must be received by the Oregon Executive Officers deadline. Each
year a nomination fee is established by the Grand Secretary. The
fee covers processing and regalia. Submit fee with completed nomination
form to the Oregon Executive Officer.
The regalia are distributed by direction
of the Oregon Executive Officer. The investiture ceremony must take
place within one year from the date of election.
