organization. |

Kentucky
DeMolay is in amity with DeMolay
International, which was founded in Kansas
City, Missouri in 1919, is an international
youth organization for young men. DeMolay
derives its name from Jacques De Molay, the
last Grand Master of the Knights Templar. It
is a Masonic-sponsored youth organization
for young men ages 12–21. |
|
DeMolay
International currently has about 18,000
members in the United States and Canada and
several thousand more world wide. It uses a
model of mentoring; adult men and women
called advisors, often past DeMolay members
or fathers and mothers of DeMolays, mentor
the active DeMolay members. The mentoring
focuses on the development of civic
awareness, leadership skills and personal
responsibility. |
|
Founded by a
Freemason, Brother Frank S. Land, DeMolay is
closely modeled after Freemasonry. With the
sponsorship of a Lodge, the chapter normally
meets in a Masonic Lodge room. DeMolay is
considered to be part of the Masonic Family,
along with other youth groups such as Job's
Daughters and the Rainbow Girls. Like the
Rainbow Girls, a young man does not need to
have a family tie or sponsor in a Masonic
organization to join DeMolay. |
