Hello, I am interested in opinions here. Would mid to late 30s be considered a good age to start a journey in masonry ?

I’m 34 and I am currently trying to join. Plus a lodge member from where I’m trying to join said he was in his 40’s or so when he joined and his best friend joined in his 70’s.

I joined at 21 but drifted in and out of lodge over the years. I'm in my 30's now and I believe I'm better prepared these days.

I was raised a few years ago but havent been active. I am waiting on virus restrictions to lift so hopefully I can get in good standing with my lodge and become involved.

I was fortunate to find the Craft in my 20's in a good Lodge that got me active early. Now I'm only in my late 40's and already with over 20 years in the Order, a PM, multiple appendent bodies, founded an EC Lodge and made countless lifelong friends among my Brothers. And I feel like I am just getting started with decades of membership ahead. Some join early and never really get involved. Some join late and try to do everything as fast as they can! I hope your journey is as exciting and fulfilling as mine has been.

Average age of a man joining here is 33.

A good age is when you want to join... eldest man I have seen join was 82, youngest 18, on his 18th Birthday (you can apply here at 17, but cannot be initiated until 18)

I joined at the age of 49, having said that, my lodge's latest candidate is 78, and he went through his first just before Scotland went into lockdown for the virus.

I was 56 when I was Entered.

The right time is when the time is right. For me that was when my youngest kid was out of HS so there were no longer a myriad of activities to support.

Only you and your family / SO, can discern if you have the time and only you know what is in your heart.
