What is DeMolay?

"DeMolay is the premier youth organization dedicated to teaching young men to be better persons and leaders. Under the 'advisorship' of adults; leadership skills, civic awareness, responsibility, and character development are learned through a variety of self directed, real world applications and activities. DeMolay builds confidence; teaches responsibility, cooperation and community service; and fosters trust, respect, fellowship, patriotism, reverence, and sharing."

How did it all start?

The Order of DeMolay was founded in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri by a man named Frank Sherman Land, but known by many as Dad Land. The order was created to teach young men virtues that are important to carry into effect in their daily lives. It also provided a father figure for those who didn't have a strong father role model to look up to.
