The Order of DeMolay is a youth group for young men between the ages of 12 and 21. The organization strives to teach young men the principals of respect of parents, reverence for sacred items, courtesy, comradeship, truthfulness, cleanness and love of country. While teaching these principals, other life skills are practiced. Young men in the organization learn how to plan an event for the chapter, practice public speaking, compete in sporting events and earn awards for community and religious service. The young men get to participate in many fun sports events like volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, flag football, bowling and others. Other activities include things like camping, hiking, bicycling, paintball, skiing, rafting and anything else they wish to participate, with proper advisory approval. The Order of DeMolay was founded in 1919 by "Dad" Frank S. Land in Kansas City, MO. He designed it to be a place where young men could participate in activities that they all enjoyed while striving to improve their lives through knowledge and practice experience.

Friendship-Bray Chapter of the Order of DeMolay is located in Jenkintown, PA, which is only a few miles north of Philadelphia. Friendship-Bray Chapter is part of Pennsylvania DeMolay which has over 20 chapters under it's wing. Friendship-Bray Chapter has been in existence for over 75 years, and has been dedicated to the young men of the region. The chapter participates in many sports events, plans fun activities and teams up with other chapters to work on community service projects and the growth of the organization. The most unique feature of the chapter and of the organization as a whole, is that the young men actually plan the events. They determine what they would like to do, figure out how to do it and execute the plan by their own will. Through out the process, adult leaders guide the process, helping whenever necessary. This is something that many other youth groups do not attempt. Friendship-Bray Chapter is always looking for young men who are interested in fun events, participating in sports and help the chapter and their communities grow and become strong.
