Much has changed since I wrote this essay in 2021. My granddaughter is now eight, and has been joined by a second.
But what hasn’t changed is the need for our kids to be around good role models. And the ways our Masonic youth groups can help support that.
The essay focuses on Rainbow, but that is simply because I only have granddaughters, and only Rainbow has a Chapter in our area. But the same ideas certainly apply to all three of our Masonic youth organizations.

Masonic Youth Groups
I think that we have all seen, or heard about, many of our young people getting into trouble, beginning immoral lives, and spiraling downward. I think that for some kids, the only real role models they have are rock stars and professional athletes, and in far too many cases, those are not whom we want our youth to be looking up to.
