All DeMolay Chapters that are chartered or under letters temporary in the state of New Jersey are automatically entered into the program. The Chapter of the Year will be selected by a panel appointed by the State Master Councilor and Executive Officer. Their decisions are final.

The Chapter of the Year program will be based on a point system outlined on this website.

Chapters should strive to earn this highest score they can by planning and participating in a well rounded program. The Chapter of the Year selection will be made from those Chapters who attain the highest score. If more than one Chapter attains the same score, participation numbers will be evaluated to determine the Chapter of the Year. If there is a tie in participation, the decision on who receives the designation of Chapter of the Year will be made by the State Master Councilor and Executive Officer by evaluating the Chapter’s overall program.

Points are awarded in 2 ways; automatically and by submission. Please review the criteria listing in the next section to see which points are awarded automatically and which points are awarded by submission.

Submission points will be awarded to Chapters who complete the report form for each activity and submit it on time. You can report multiple activities on the paper form. When submitting via the internet, please submit one activity at a time. Multiple activities on the same internet form will cause those activities not to be counted. All forms must be received within 30 DAYS OF THE ACTIVITY.

When submitting items for points, detailed explanations of the Chapter Activities are suggested so that they may be used in the evaluation.  The electronic date stamp must be no later than 30 DAYS after the event takes place. Electronic submissions will be verified with the Chapter’s Chairman and/or District Deputy. Late submissions will not be counted.

Chapter Chairman will be contacted if questions arise concerning any event submissions.

 

If you have any questions regarding submissions or scores please contact "Dad" Matt Golway.
