Activities and what we do

Since it’s founding, DeMolay in Maryland has participated in a great variety of beneficial activities such as charitable fund-raising drives for the Muscular Dystrophy through The Tall Cedars Of Lebanon,  Shriners Hospitals for Burns and Crippled Children, Christmas Seals, Canned Food drives for needy families and the many more.  Very much aware of Patriotism, DeMolays have always participated in organized parades for the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and other national holidays.  Traditionally, DeMolays also have revered the memory of George Washington and of America’s fighting men by laying wreaths at the tomb at Mt. Vernon and at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery.  In fact the way in which we pray kneeling on our left knee is emblematic of the way in which our founding father prayed while at Valley Forge.  Similarly aware of the need of Religion in life, DeMolays have taken an active part in public worship services by reading parts from the Bible and Gospels in fellow member's shrines of faith.  Another activity of great interest has been in the field of athletics.  Depending on the season of the year and the interest of the members; softball, basketball, flag football, bowling and riffle competitions and various other athletic activities have been organized.  DeMolay recognizes the world's need for good and consecrated leadership in our communities and advancing world we live in today.  We teach our members the lessons of responsibility, sacrifice, and humility of leadership roles within and outside the chapter setting  and we make these teachings a central role in our organization.
