What seems to be the average age in your area when ppl join the Freemasonry?
It seems to be farely high around where I live. I would say closer to 50 or at least well past 40. I'm 37 and AE and I am considered young.

Hard to tell. In my lodge over the last several years there seems to have been a youth movement of sorts. We have several join ranging from 18-35 and then we have had a few from 50-65.

The last few years it's been almost entirely men in their 20s and 30s being initiated in my lodge.

I was raised last November at 56, two others went through the degrees at the same time and they were also mid 50s, Over the last 6 months we have had 2 in their 30s, 3 in the 50s, 2 in their 60s and one in their 70s.

We do have several in our lodge early to mid 30s including our SW, JW and SD.

That's a good thing, youth keeps Masonry Alive. We have been around for more than 300 years, but who's counting???

I was in my early 20's and my dad was in his mid 40's. I am now 43. We became Brothers together and it is something we both cherish. Even more so now for myself because I lost my dad to Cancer two years ago. Experiencing the whole thing with my dad, Scottish Rite, 32nd Degree is something I hold dear to my heart. Located in Virginia.

I'd say the majority in my jurisdiction are around early 30's. That being said, the last 2 gentlemen raised were 72 and 21 (after waiting since coming to Lodge events since he was 19).
