What is DeMolay? The Order of
DeMolay was founded in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri by
Frank S. Land. His intention was to create a club for
young men to learn life and leadership skills. With World
War I raging in Europe, many of these young men had no
father at home, and Frank Land became a kind of guide and
father figure for them. He was awarded the honorary title
of "Dad" by the first group of DeMolays, a
title which has since been passed on to every Advisor of
a DeMolay Chapter.
