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.
Begin planning as soon as you are installed as Senior Councilor. Will there be a dance? A reception? Will you have pictures taken? Use the resources below to help you create a step-by-step plan for a successful installation.

Term planning gives the Chapter a blueprint for action. A well-organized plan helps Chapter members and adult volunteers plan their time more efficiently.
It’s very important to include Chapter members when choosing activities for the term. Members who have helped decided which activities to plan will be more supportive than if they were just told what the Chapter would be doing.
