Representative DeMolay

Description
The Representative DeMolay Award, which is more
commonly referred to as the RD Award, is the
highest self-achievement distinction a DeMolay
can earn. It signifies that he has analyzed his
strengths and weaknesses in abilities, knowledge
and skills.
It tells the world that the recipient is a young
man who has already established a list of
definite accomplishments, knowledge and skills
that will go far in assisting him up the ladder
of success no matter what yardstick is used.
The RD program was first established in 1924 and
for many years was a competition to select the
most outstanding DeMolays from throughout the
movement. In 1935 the program was redesigned to
fill a growing need for self-evaluation by every
DeMolay. Today it is hoped that every DeMolay
can evaluate his progress in the fields of
mental, physical, social, economic and spiritual
development through the RD Program, thus
recognizing the areas in which he has made
sufficient progress, as well as those which need
further emphasis.
