The Young and New Masons Forum in the Province of Argyll and the Isles was inaugurated at the Provincial Communication in April 2024. This initiative is part of the Grand Lodge of Scotland’s Apprentice Pillars, intended to encourage new and young masons to come together in creative ways across Scotland and encourage young men to join.

The Argyll Young Masons have been working together for a year, ably led by the now IPM of Lodge St Munn Ardnadam No 496, Bro. Fraser Harvey. The Young Masons conferred an Entered Apprentice degree in January 2024 and it was a very successful night indeed.
