Why we do this

Who can and Why?

Sandra King

Who can get involved?

Anyone can get involved, learn more and be as active with our youth as they want. Young men can join, and adults can be mentors and Advisors. There are even ways for young ladies to be involved.

An Advisor for DeMolay can be any adult (over the age of 21), male or female, parents, coaches, teachers, clergy, Senior DeMolays, and Masons. They just need to have an interest in working with young men and be willing to help them develop their character and leadership skills.

Who can join?

  • To be eligible to join DeMolay, three simple requirements need to be met by the applicant.
  • You are a young man between the ages of 12 and 21.
  • You are of good moral character.
  • You believe in a supreme being (all religions welcome).

What makes DeMolay special?

DeMolay is a youth-led, adult-advised organization in which young men learn to plan, organize, and facilitate their own programs. Our young men come up with the ideas and we help them only as much as they need and want to make them happen. DeMolays take part in a wide-range of activities, from athletic competitions, to public speaking tournaments, to community service events. All activities are guided by the interests of the local chapter.
   If you can dream it, you can do it in DeMolay.

Why join or support DeMolay?

DeMolay members interact with other young men who are dedicated to upholding the virtues and high moral standard of the Order. Young men are proven to act more upstanding when in the company of quality companions. Acting in an upstanding manner becomes a habit, which demonstrates good character now and serves to mold a mature way of thinking as he attains manhood.

2018 Recap

Sandra King

Dale Chapman Chapter had a very busy year. The Chapter served on numerous degree teams and installation teams throughout our district (and around the state).

We initiated one new member in 2018. DeMolay can be any age from 12 – 20. Chapter statistics: 1 -12 yr old, 1 -14 yr old, 3 -15 yr olds, 3 -16 yr olds, 2 -17 yr-olds, 4 -18 yr olds, 4 -19 yr olds, and 7 -20 yr olds. Of these members, 10 are actively participating in most events, and the others come when they can.

Sion K. presided during the first half of 2018. During his term, the Chapter went to K1 Speed in Orlando and rode go-carts. We also went to Conclave (5 days in Jacksonville) where Connor G. was appointed District Deputy State Master Councilor for District 3. During Sion’s term, the Chapter focused on service to the Masonic fraternity, helping with mowing and workdays at St. Johns lodge and earning money by mowing the Shrine Club in Deland.

Xavier V. presided over the 2nd half of 2018. During his term, the Chapter went to Cotillion (in Orlando) where our officers served on the degree team, and several officers served in the honor guard. We have continued to help with mowing and workdays at St. Johns and the Shrine Club. We were proud to work with the Rainbow Girls at the Grand Master’s Official Visit, and we had a wonderful time manning the Bar-B-Que at the Golf tournament. In addition to Masonic service, we collected books and other items for the UM Children’s Home.

In 2018 long-time Advisors, Jen and Bryan Coffey made began looking for replacements so that they could move to Tennessee. Late in the year Sandra and Harvey King became Advisors and in October the Coffeys made their move and adult leadership transitioned.
