Testimonials
Rainbow helped my sisters and I build the necessary skills for success in whatever we put our minds to. I gained valuable hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, and communication which later helped me succeed in college, work, and everyday life.
DeMolay prepared me for life by developing my skills as a professional. At Chapter meetings, community events, and state conventions; DeMolay built in me the confidence, drive, and service-mindedness I needed to speak publicly and build relationships with those around me.
Being an Eagle Scout, DeMolay, Freemason, and military officer have helped prepare me to be a better and more caring citizen. I have considered it an obligation to pass along the precepts and principles I have learned along the way. To me, being a good citizen is summed up in the Scout Law: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
The most important thing that Job’s Daughters has taught me is communication. Before joining Job’s Daughters, I was extremely shy and hated having to talk to anyone without my mom. Since then, I have come out of my shell and have been able to take on leadership roles that require lots of communication.
The Squires program (for young men aged 9 to 11) helped me become the DeMolay member I am today. I was in Squires for around 2 years and it taught me how to become a public speaker, how to plan out events, and it gave me so many opportunities to have fun. Now that I am in DeMolay, I look back to when I was a Squire and remember how much it helped shape me into a member of DeMolay.
Being a member of Job’s Daughters has given me the ability to become a responsible young woman. With all the opportunities offered through this organization, I have learned leadership skills, time management, honesty, and being held accountable for my actions. All of these traits have molded me into the young woman I am today.
