Representative Demolay Form
Representative Demolay Form
Congratulations! You have taken the first step toward becoming a Representative DeMolay,
which is one of the most challenging awards a DeMolay can earn. The form itself is not
challenging to fill out. It is challenging to be completely honest about yourself when you are
working on the form. Remember, that honesty is the key! The purpose of this evaluation is to
help you discover those areas in which you have strength and also those that you should
strengthen. This is why you are required to give a Personal Rating in each area to become a
Representative DeMolay.
You do not have to be a Master Councilor or have the Blue Honor Key to receive the
Representative DeMolay Award. However, you will not receive the Representative DeMolay
Award if you are not honest and thorough when reporting your DeMolay accomplishments.
