| What We Do? |
Texas DeMolay Chapters have a wide variety of
activities and social events. These include dances, outings at
local theme parks, movie nights and dinner meetings. Chapters
usually hold several fundraisers every year to raise the money
to do other fun things and to help the members with the cost of
attending statewide events. The Texas DeMolay Association brings
DeMolays from across the state together in several events every
year, including:

Government Day - DeMolay is the only youth group in Texas
allowed to use the House and Senate chambers at the state capitol
building in Austin. Each year in February, DeMolays
and Rainbows meet at the capitol to write their own bills, debate
them in the House and Senate chambers, write amendments and pass or
fail mock "laws." This gives each DeMolay the chance to sharpen his
public speaking skills and is a fun way to learn about the way our
government works by actually participating in the process. |

Masonic Youth Weekend - The Grand Lodge of Texas sponsors a
weekend retreat at the Greene Family Camp in Bruceville, TX, for
DeMolays
 and Rainbows. Usually held the last weekend in April, the
members of each group come together to discuss new ways to work
together, share success stories and learn how to apply them to their
own local groups, and have fun in co-ed group activities. |

Texas DeMolay Conclave - Held each year in July, the annual
Conclave is the big event for all Texas DeMolays. Conclave gives
DeMolays the chance to compete against each other in athletic
competitions and in the memory work of the Order, both individually
and in teams. A highlight of each year's Conclave is the election of
new state-wide officers to lead Texas DeMolay for the coming year.
Recent Conclaves have been held in Austin & Waco. |
