Ceremony Policies

Please note the following policies applicable to Camp 20's obligation ceremonies.

DRESS CODE

The dress code for the ceremony is business formal, which loosely defined is attire suitable to wear for a job intereview.  We request that candidates and guests conform to this dress code out of respect for the other attendees and guests for the ceremony.

FALL GRADUATES

We recognize that some Term 8 candidates will not complete all of their graduation requirements until later but they still want to participate in the Obligation Ceremony with their classmates.  We will accommodate participation by candidates who will graduate later under the following conditions:

• They must meet all requirements for graduation during the calendar year of the ceremony.  Candidates who have to complete a course or work term in the following calendar year will need to participate next year.

• Candidates will be presented with their ring on stage, but it must be returned to a Warden at the end of the ceremony.  The candidate's ring and obligation certificate will be mailed to them when they have met the requirements for graduation.
