PATH TO KNIGHTHOOD

The ideal path to knighthood starts in a young man’s life while he is still learning what it is to be a man. Boys who join KOR to begin their training toward knighthood join as either a Page Recruit or a Page. The Page program will guide them and give them the opportunity to enter into the ranks of the Knighthood as a Squire as they enter adulthood.

The initial ranks for men include Man-at-Arms and Squire. The rank of Squire must be earned, either through completion of the Page's training or through recognition and promotion from Man-at-Arms. The goal for every man is to achieve knighthood. A boy who is unable to complete their Page training but continues with KOR will be acknowledged as a man and ranked as a Man-at-Arms.

The command level of the Knighthood provides leadership, structure and guidance. Knights in this category are called to demonstrate exceptional leadership as an example for other men. Knight Lieutenants/Standard Bearers are given the authority to represent the Knighthood as a table leader. Knighthood Command consists of all senior command ranks and provides the organizational direction as required. Careful time, prayer and consideration must be given to all men considered for such roles. Knight Grand Commander is reserved for the High Council Members.

The character and qualities expected of every Page, Man-at-Arms, Squire and Knight are outlined within four categories which include faith, inward character, relationships, deeds and actions. Every man must live every day as though their character will be defined by the choices and actions of that very moment. This is the high calling of authentic manhood and by identifying the expectations, we hold one another to the challenge to live up to that high calling together.
