Membership awards are given for securing new DeMolay initiates. DeMolay International grants these awards automatically. First-line signers may claim the same new members to earn the Membership Merit Bar, Founder's Membership Award and Blue Honor Key.

• #1 Lapel Pin:

  It's exciting to sign up your first new member. The #1 lapel pin recognizes this important achievement.

• Merit Bar:

  The Membership Merit Bar is granted for being the first-line signer on his first five membership applications of three initiates.

• Founders Membership Award:

  This award is granted to a DeMolay who is the first-line signer on his first five membership applications.

• Blue Honor Key:

  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. These 10 membership applications do not have to be secured for any one class or in any one year. An active member who secures fewer than 10 applications before he reaches his majority may complete the requirements list after he reaches majority. Additional Blue Honor Keys, with stars to designate each multiple of 10 new members secured, are also granted.
