Resources for Members

There are lots of moving pieces and parts to leading a DeMolay chapter.  Here you will find the various information and forms, both required and recommended, to help you be successful in your chapter. You can get a copy of the Chapter Administration Handbook, find out how to order supplies, or find term planning checklists.  Everything you need to run a successful chapter is right at your fingertips.

An Open Installation ceremony is an occasion when the people of the community have an opportunity to observe DeMolay and form opinions concerning the Order and a particular Chapter. For this reason, every effort should be made ot have the ceremony well-planned so all events will take place smoothly.

Term planning gives the Chapter a blueprint for action. A well-organized plan helps Chapter members and adult volunteers plan their time more efficiently.
