The Order of DeMolay was founded in March 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri by Frank S. Land and nine young men. Land intended to create a club for young men to learn life and leadership skills. The members needed a name for their organization, and someone suggested that it be named after the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques DeMolay.
DeMolay is an organization dedicated to preparing young men to lead successful, happy, and productive lives. Basing its approach on timeless principles and practical, hands-on experience, DeMolay opens doors for young men aged 12 to 21 by developing the civic awareness, personal responsibility and leadership skills so vitally needed in society today. DeMolay combines this serious mission with a fun approach that builds important bonds of friendship among members in more than 1,000 chapters worldwide.
Bonneville DeMolay is sponsored by the Eagle Rock Masonic Lodge located 225 S. Capital Ave in Idaho Falls, Idaho
