Youth Group Membership
The Order of the Eastern Star provides support to members of several Masonic youth organizations.
These Masonic Youth Organizations are Constellation of Junior Stars (females ages 11-21), Organization of Triangles, Inc. (female ages 11-21), International Order of Rainbow for Girls (female ages 11-21) and DeMolay for Boys (male ages 12-21).
The purpose of these youth groups is to train these fine young citizens to be leaders in the community and to be potential members and perhaps future leaders of our country.
