Welcome to Southwest Gold Coast Chapter of DeMolay
DeMolay is a fun organization for young men between the ages of 12 and 21. Squires is for younger men ages 9 to 11. By belonging you will be able to choose the fun activities you want to do. You will make new friends which may last a lifetime. You will work with them to choose and organize those fun activities. In fact, you might very well become the leader of the Chapter as you grow.
Your DeMolay Advisors are here to help you...not lead you. The "Dads" and "Moms" will be present to help you learn those leadership skills while you organize your activities. You will learn many life skills that will help you as you grow. We are mentors, helping you, but not providing you a free ride. We will help teach you how to learn and cope with things in life.
But DeMolay is more than just fun activities. It is also learning about yourself. Learning what character is. Acquiring the virtues of comradeship, reverence of life, love and respect of parents, patriotism, courtesy to all and fidelity and faithfulness to friends.
DeMolay helps young men grow into adulthood and become mature men who will be respected in the future. Many go onto become very successful in their professions. Some, like Iven C. Kincheloe become famous for their accomplishments. Iven Kincheloe---A DeMolay Hero!
