History
Brief History
In 1919, a gentleman by the name of Frank S. Land started an organization for young men, called DeMolay. The mission was to build up these young men into respected community members. The values and ideals the organization teaches were based off of the stories of the heroic figure, Jacques DeMolay, a member of the Knights Templars. The fidelity he exemplified is one of the main teachings of our organization.
