“Dad” Walkling took the DeMolay World by storm in 2005 when he and his sons, members of Northeast Chapter in Philadelphia, realized that there was a need for a DeMolay Chapter in the southern part of Lancaster County where they had property that they frequented in escaping the hustle and bustle of the City of Brotherly Love.  By May of 2005 he had organized a group of men and women to be advisors, secured the sponsorship of two Lodges and Freedom Chapter was born!  In two short years the Chapter has grown and thrived with an impressive mix of community service activities, Masonic service projects, support of the Scottish Rite Learning Centers, and membership recruitment and retention techniques that have been recognized statewide as innovative and effective.
