“The Order of DeMolay has stood for generations as a beacon for the seven cardinal virtues on which it was founded. Those virtues: love of parents, reverence, courtesy, comradeship, fidelity, cleanness and patriotism are as vital to a prosperous and civilized society today as they were when Dad Frank S. Land identified them as the basic tenets of the Order at its founding.
Standing guard over those virtues and the other bulwarks of the Order are the members of the International Supreme Council. Those who serve on that body are charged not only with upholding the traditions of DeMolay, but ensuring its future as well. The International Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay is the supreme authority in all matters for the entire Order of DeMolay, and has all powers necessary and appropriate to this authority. Those who reside on the Supreme Council must be at least thirty years of age and be a Master Mason in good standing. They must be nominated by Active Member of the body, receive the proper recommendations, have their nomination undergo a review process and stand for election before those already seated as members of the Supreme Council, in a ballot held during an executive session of the body.”
At the 86th DeMolay International Supreme Council session held in Seattle, the following were selected to become members of Supreme Council:
- Honorary Members:
- Dale Dietzman
- Alan Graulich
- Charles Levan
“The collar, which you now wear around your neck, is a symbol of your position, and you will be greeted at all DeMolay events with the highest level respect, which you have earned. I remind you that your service to DeMolay has now moved to a higher level. In taking on this position, your responsibilities are now magnified and much more will be expected from you. I thank you for the work you have already done for DeMolay and for your added commitment to this organization whose sole purpose is to make the youth of today the leaders of tomorrow.”
Congratulations to all these Brothers!
Ritual from the “ISC Membership Ceremony” written by Dad William Carver, Past Executive Officer of Georgia DeMolay, and Active Member of the Supreme Council.
