The Blue Honor Key is awarded to an Active or Senior DeMolay for being the first-line signer for 10 new members initiated by the Chapter.

Additional Blue Honor Keys, with stars to designate each multiple of 10 new members secured, are also granted.

The Representative DeMolay Award was created by DeMolay Founder, “Dad” Frank S. Land, to encourage all members of DeMolay to develop a well-rounded life that is characterized by the practice of the virtues and values of the Order. It is the highest award for self-achievement that can be earned by an Active DeMolay.

“Dad” Land’s goal was for every DeMolay to be a Representative DeMolay, not merely by holding the award, but by living in such a way as to make the Order proud to call you its own.

The Past Master Councilor Meritorious Service Award was originated by “Dad” Frank S. Land. He recognized the tremendous advantage gained by the Master Councilor in having a well thought out term plan distributed to the Chapter membership before being installed.

A Chapter may recommend any person over 21 years of age for the DeMolay Medal of Appreciation in recognition of outstanding service to DeMolay. The nominee can be a man or a woman and they do not need any Masonic affiliation.

The Hats Off Award is an honor intended for presentation to anyone rendering outstanding service or support to a Chapter. This may be in any field related to Chapter activities. It consists of a lapel pin, a card and a certificate.

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes outstanding overall service by a DeMolay in religious life, education, community, home, DeMolay and other areas

Established by DeMolay International in 1959, it is awarded to a maximum of two DeMolay members per jurisdiction per year (one per six-month term).

An Advisor’s Honor Key is an award granted to the Chapter Advisor or another member of the Advisory Council on the following conditions:
-All Chapter reports are submitted by established deadlines during the calendar year.
-The net membership must exceed the previous calendar year’s net membership.
-Initiates must exceed majorities for the calendar year.
-If the same individual receives more than one key, a star is added to the background of each successive key. Only one key can be awarded to a Chapter in each DeMolay year.

The Guild of the Leather Apron, also known as the Advisor of the Year Award, is designed to give singular recognition to a DeMolay Advisor who in the past year has made outstanding contributions to the growth and success of the Order of DeMolay, especially within a local Chapter.

The honor may be conferred upon any DeMolay Advisor, regardless of Masonic affiliation.

The individual chiefly responsible for organizing a new or reinstated Chapter may be recommended for the Zerubbabel Key. Up to three Zerubbabel Keys are granted for each new or reinstated Chapter. Each nomination for the Zerubbabel Key must be approved by the Executive Officer of the Jurisdiction in which the Chapter is located. The key should be awarded within one year of the institution of the Chapter.

The Life Saving Medal, which was approved at the 1969 DeMolay International Session, may be granted in cases where a DeMolay has performed an act that resulted in the saving of a human life.

The Advisory Council may nominate a DeMolay who has performed an act of heroism for this honor. In considering this nomination, DeMolay International requires that the act of heroism be one in which the nominee was in danger of losing his own life.

The Supreme Council shall grant the DeMolay Medal of Valor to an individual who, while an Active Member of the Order, has voluntarily performed an act of valor, saving or attempting to save the life of another person, or has sacrificed himself in a heroic manner under circumstances not justifying an award of the Medal of Heroism.

The Supreme Council shall confer the Fifty-Year Award upon a Senior DeMolay, at any time, fifty (50) years after the date that he had been initiated into the DeMolay degrees.
