The Legion of Honor is the highest honor conferred by the International Supreme Council. There are two classes of the legion of Honor.

The Active Legion of Honor: May be conferred on a Senior DeMolay for outstanding leardership in some field of endeavor or for success in fraternal life, including adult sevice to DeMolay. Nominees must be over 25 years of age before January 15. The Active Legion of Honor has a red cordon.

The Honorary Legion of Honor May be conferred on a Mason over 30 years of age who has performed unusual and meritorious service on behalf of DeMolay, or who has evidence a spirit of cooperation and appreciation for the Order of DeMolay. He does not have to be a Senior DeMolay. The Honorary Legion of Honor has a white cordon.

No one may apply for this distinction, and a nominee, or the membership of a chapter, must have no knowledge of the recommendation by the Advisory Council. Failure to observe secrecy in making this nomination subjects the nominee to the penalty of not being considered.

Nomination froms are available from the Executive Officer. The nominations must be received by the Executive Officer's deadline of Mar.15th. Each year a nomination fee is established by the Grand Secretary. The fee covers processing and regalia, but does not include the ring available from the DeMolay and More Store. The fee is submitted with the completed nomination form to the Executive officer.

If approved by the Executive Officer, the nomination will be referred to the International Supreme Council for consideration at their annual sessions in June. A unanimous vote of the International Supreme Council is required to receive this honor.
