Government
Day
Each year
in February, DeMolays from across Texas gather in Austin
at the State Capitol. DeMolay is one of just a few
organizations in Texas allowed to sit in and occupy
the House and Senate Chambers. DeMolays write and debate
their own "laws",
adding amendments and passing or failing them. The Rainbow
Girls of Texas also participate as co-hosts with Texas
DeMolay.

Leadership

an opportunity to attend Leadership Training Conferences
each year in various states outside of Texas. Members
from across the country gather to learn leadership skills,
offer help to each other, and share success stories from
their home Chapters.

Texas
State Conclaves
DeMolays from
across the state gather each year in July to compete

basketball, softball, volleyball, tennis, individual
and team Ritual (memory work) competitions, and feature
