Chevalier Overview
A Court of Chevaliers may be formed with the authorization of the Georgia Chevalier Coordinator and the Executive Officer.
The Court must be made up entirely of Chevaliers from Georgia. All Chevaliers should be in good standing, in that they have participated in their annual observance and completed their required 10 hours of DeMolay service.
The Court may elect the following officers:
- Commander
- Commander in the West
- Commander in the South
- Marshal
- Chaplain
- Secretary
The first duty of a Georgia Chevalier Court is to plan and hold an official annual observance for any Chevaliers in the Court's area of operation on (or about) November 8.
The Chevalier Court must also assist the Georgia Chevalier Association in conferring the Degree of Chevalier on those named by DeMolay International's Supreme Council.
The last required duty of a Georgia Chevalier Court is to provide two trained representatives to sit on the Ritualist Examination Board and to provide REB services in the Court's area of operation.
The following are other examples of areas where a Chevalier Court may work:
- Sponsor and maintain an annual Chapter Membership Contest and assist with state membership programs.
- Conduct Chapter installations when needed.
- Assist in the judging of ritual, athletic or similar competitions.
- Promote better understanding of the Order through presentations of history and ideals on the Chapter level.
- Be active in the area of extension, so that new Chapters may be formed and membership increased.
- Assist and encourage visitations among DeMolay Chapters.
- Help out at Conclave and other state events.
