Who We Are

By epitomizing timeless values, and accepting the challenge of leadership – both of character and of action – the young men of DeMolay transform themselves into citizens of the highest caliber. If you can dream it, you can do it in DeMolay.
With thousands of members worldwide, our approach is simple: give them the tools to lead, and the guidance to succeed.
Our success over the past one hundred years wasn’t due to just sheer coincidence. Our members take ownership of their DeMolay experience. From generating ideas, planning events, coordinating logistics, and executing their plans, each DeMolay Chapter is responsible for defining their success. All of this is accomplished under the mentorship of trained Advisors, selected from the local community, enabling each Chapter to be uniquely tailored to support the interests of its members.
But words are insufficient to describe DeMolay, it must be experienced. Give it a chance and we know you will discover what we already know, DeMolay is the greatest youth organization in the world.

Love of Parents
Our parents will be there for us through every obstacle we will ever endure during our youth. One of the great lessons of DeMolay is the lesson of love of parents. DeMolay members cherish their parents and hold family teachings close to their hearts. Our members strive to repay the love and care of their parents through kindness and civility.
Reverence
An individual’s religious beliefs are their own. We encourage our members to carry out their teachings while also respecting the views of others, no matter how different they may be from their own. No DeMolay will ever be disrespected or shunned due to his religious beliefs, as we are all children of the Universal Father.
Courtesy
DeMolay members are taught to be kind to everyone and be courteous to everyone, no matter if they are at a DeMolay function or out and about in their personal life. A DeMolay is kind and courteous toward others. Not only in public, but also at home and among friends.
Friendship
True friendship binds our members together so they may build a lifelong brotherhood. To be a friend is one of the highest honors, but being a brother involves strong ties of loyalty and trust.
Fidelity
The Order of DeMolay teaches faithfulness to a promise, cause, or belief, and to continually support each Chapter member.
Fidelity means to be faithful and loyal to all of our obligations in life. By being faithful, our members earn the respect and trust of everyone with whom they come in contact.
Cleanness
Cleanness extends beyond physical hygiene. It encompasses being purposeful with our words, careful of our actions, and respectful with our thoughts.
We practice to keep our thoughts, deeds, and actions clean in all manners realizing that things we could say or things we do could have negative impact on other.
Patriotism
DeMolay encourages each member to be patriotic towards his country and mindful of those who serve to protect it. Whether through service or by being an exemplary citizen.
