DeMolay International establishes new jurisdiction.
In a world where DeMolay has reached six continents, DeMolay International, with the
United Grand Lodge of Bulgaria, has established a DeMolay jurisdiction in the
sovereign state of Bulgaria.
At ceremonies conducted in the city of Sophia, Bulgaria, the jurisdictional charter was
presented to the Bulgarian men, women, and youth members by DeMolay
International’s Grand Master, Jon Sellars. Manu Moravenov received his designation to
lead the Jurisdiction of Bulgaria by the DeMolay International Supreme Council.
DeMolay’s expansion throughout the world has provided the DeMolay experience and
values to young men and communities that desire the development of character and
leadership in their young men.
DeMolay International celebrates the DeMolay experience with the population of
Bulgaria through this act of expansion.
