What is DeMolay?
DeMolay is an organization dedicated to
preparing young men to lead successful,
happy, and productive lives. Basing
its approach on timeless principles and
practical, hands-on experience, DeMolay
opens doors for young men aged 12 to 21 by
developing the civic awareness, personal
responsibility and leadership skills so
vitally needed in society today.
DeMolay combines this serious mission with a
fun approach that builds important bonds of
friendship among members in more than 1,000
chapters worldwide.
DeMolay alumni include Walt Disney, John
Wayne, Walter Cronkite, football Hall-of-Famer
Fran Tarkenton, legendary Nebraska football
coach Tom Osborne, news anchor David Goodnow
and many others. Each has spoken
eloquently of the life-changing benefit
gained from their involvement in DeMolay.
DeMolay still teaches
the same seven precepts or basic life
principles upon which DeMolay members should
base their lives: Filial love (love of
parents), reverence for sacred things,
courtesy comradeship, fidelity
(faithfulness), cleanness, and patriotism. |
