Regulation 91 outlines the procedures for Masonic Chapters wishing to wear a Centenary Jewel or attach a Bi-Centenary Bar. To obtain permission for a Centenary Jewel, a Chapter must submit a petition to the First Grand Principal, providing details about its origin, regular operations, and evidence of uninterrupted existence for one hundred years. Similarly, a petition is required for a Bi-Centenary Bar, necessitating proof of two hundred years of continuous existence. Once granted, the privilege to wear these honors is limited to subscribing members and any Honorary Member who was a subscribing member in the year preceding their election. The designs for both the Centenary Jewel and Bi-Centenary Bar have been approved by the First Grand Principal. Additionally, a fee for the Charter authorizing the Chapter to wear these jewels is stipulated in Regulation 99.
