About the DeMolay Squires Program

Established in 1995, Squires is a program for boys ages 9 to 11. It teaches important lessons about Justice, Truth, and Wisdom while participating in a variety of fun events and developing lasting friendships. A great starting point for any youth interested in becoming a DeMolay at 12 years old, or who is just looking for something to get involved in. Squires hold “professional” meetings, attend fun events, and interact with DeMolays. A Squire is part of a Manor, and members hold an office within their Manor. Each meeting and event has Advisors present who ensure safety, and work closely with the Squires. Active DeMolays give the Squires positive role models, and love interacting with their “little brothers”. Parents are welcome to attend all events, and contribute to the success of the manor.

Northern California Squires Program creates opportunities for our younger boys to lead during a time in their life when decisions are mainly made by adults. They create friendships based on the virtues of truth, respect and a passion for knowledge. The Squires Program helps them to feel confident about who they are and are better equipped for the ever so changing teenage years.

DeMolay was home. It’s where my friends and family came together to support, bond and play together!

DeMolay gave me the ability to see the leadership within myself. As a single child and the Mom of one son, DeMolay gave me the huge family I always wanted. I now have multiple sons and daughters, brothers and sisters and some of the best, lifelong friends I could ever ask for.

A group of friends I could trust. A place where I could feel safe to fail and be celebrated when I succeeded

DeMolay provided me with the skills that tested my abilities, a friend group that now is part of my family, and virtues that would become the foundation of a life of service.

DeMolay provided me with valuable life skills like public speaking, event planning, budgeting, and social etiquette all before I had even graduated high school. Most importantly though, DeMolay provided me with lifelong friends and role models that I still keep in touch with today and continue to look up to.

The skills that DeMolay helped me develop made me stand out as a candidate for college and potential careers. The lessons and values of DeMolay prepared me far beyond my peers to take on the challenges that face a young adult in the twenty first century.

DeMolay was my social outlet. Friends who were fun to be with and even though many of them were not local they were always the ones who provded the best memories. It was those friends that I wanted to spend time with.

Life.....my job, meeting my wife, my personal skills were all related to and developed thru my involment with DeMolay. DeMolay taugh me how to plan events and track details. It is those skills that provided the tools I needed to be successful at work.Today my closest friends are those who shared my love of the organization.

DeMolay provided a place for me to learn important lessons of community service, brotherhood, and mutual respect from great male role models. It also offered a setting in which I could practice the valuable skills of public speaking, meeting administration, leadership, and event planning. Maybe most importantly, DeMolay was a space where I could flourish as myself, and feel respected and supported as a young man growing into adulthood.

The skills and values I learned in DeMolay still serve me well today. I now work in an environment where my public speaking abilities are put into practice daily, and I truly believe these skills were first nourished in DeMolay. Furthermore, the values of service, respect, and comradeship are all valuable tenets in my professional life, where I strive to be an effective and respected public servant.

DeMolay provided me with unique opportunities that helped me develop self confidence as a young man.

I've received so much from DeMolay. including meeting my wife and many life-long friends. The biggest thing that I got out of my time with DeMolay was expereince. Experience in travel, expereince in leadership, experience working with people, expereince in public speaking, all while having fun and doing good work in the community. It is that variety of experience that made me more well-rounded individual.

DeMolay provided me confidence and an extraordinary opportunity to thrive. Throughout my association with the Order of DeMolay, I became a more confident public speaker and fundamental skills that would later guide my life by living through the values I learned there.

Literally, everything. I met my future wife while I was in DeMolay. Through DeMolay I learned value-based principles and leadership skills that would later guide my life and business endeavors. Over the course of my career, I was able to reflect and draw upon fundamental skills I learned through DeMolay and my association with the Masonic fraternity, ultimately culminating with my becoming CEO of multinational organizations. Without DeMolay, I doubt this could have ever happened.
