Who We Are

History

This organisation was established in 1919 in the city of Kansas by Dad Frank Sherman Land. The first group of this program consisted of 9 young man who played on a baseball team along with their coach. The name DeMolay was originally for young men who lost their fathers in World War 1 and needed a father figure in their life.

The organisation got its name from Jacques DeMolay who was the last grand master of the Knights Templar. The emblem currently used by DeMolay International was designed by the founder himself Dad Frank S. Land in 1949.

The most significant part of the emblem are it's ten rupees placed around the perimeter of the logo. These rubies are meant to represent the original ten members of the first groupe. Formerly the emblem had ten white precious stones which were later replaced by rubies.
