[edit] Move section
I am moving this paragraph to the talk page as I think it belongs there rather than in the encyclopedia:
A number of youth organizations exist, mainly North American, which are associated with Freemasonry, but are not Masonic in their content (Comment from MSJ: That is very debatable. Having seen Rainbow and DeMolay ritual done in the lodge room of Lodge of Instruction (which works differently here than in the UK, IIRC, which is why it could be done), I'd say that it teaches a lot of the same principles, and has ritual which needs to be memorized. A Master Mason is required to be at meetings as an advisor, so while there is no S&C, it's a pretty good approximation, so if you want to make a case for the statement, you're going to need to clarify the definition of "Masonic content".

[edit] Opening par
The opening par need something bold any suggestions, or should it be rewritten to include the line "Masonic appendant bodies"? Escaper7 16:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Appendant vs. Concordant
The distinction between "appendant" and "concordant" is not in any way clear. Is there a reference for this distinction? If not, we should perhaps organize these bodies on more explicable grounds, such as the type of legends used in the ritual, or the requirements for membership. --Bolognaking 19:13, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
