Mother Chapter
traveled east in 1921 to
institute new chapters. Mr. George
Fleming Moore who was a very active
Mason in Alabama in 1914, as Acting
Grand Commander of the Supreme Council,
was very helpful in starting DeMolay
in the East. It was during this
trip that the first
DeMolay Chapter in
Maryland, George Fleming Moore Chapter was
instituted in
Hyattsville on August 3, 1921.

| Mr. George Fleming
Moore was present when
Mother Chapter initiated the first class
of twenty-five members of G. F. M.
chapter which was the
first chapter in
DeMolay that was named after a living
man. While in the area, the team also
instituted Robert LeBruce Chapter on
August 4th, in
Washington, D. C., once part of Maryland
DeMolay, and
Baltimore Chapter in Baltimore, MD on August
5th. |

These pioneer
chapters multiplied until the number of
chapters in the state reached 21
thriving chapters
and over 500 members and
advisors.
Currently we have seven
chapters and over 200 members and
advisors.
Our Chapters have been named after beautiful
cities in which they are a part of the
community, famous and prestigious
men of the community, and of Freemasonry,
and their
sponsoring bodies.
Our
Conclaves (conventions) have been hosted
by our member chapters where able and
have been held through out the state
including the famous Lord Baltimore
Hotel in the city of Baltimore,
Maryland, and Salisbury State
University on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. |

We feel, with the
support of members,
advisors, their
communities in which
they meet, and more
importantly from our Masonic family, Maryland
DeMolay will continue to offer a wide range
of activities. It is through these
activities of
opportunities of
leadership that the young men
of DeMolay will receive
the
responsibility and the skills, to become
the leaders of tomorrow.
