Mount Shasta ElksLodge No. 2333 · CaliforniaA starting point based on public sources, with a clear distinction between national requirements and local rules we still need to verify.
National eligibility requires applicants to be at least 21, believe in God, be U.S. citizens who pledge allegiance to and salute the American flag, and be of good character. A sponsor and two additional Elk references are part of the application process.
National membership requirementsGuest access, sign-in, dress, dues, rentals, and house conduct need Mount Shasta’s current approved bylaws and house rules. These haven’t been verified here. Rules from another lodge are not a substitute.
Local bylaws (member access may be required)Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love, and Fidelity are the principles listed by the lodge. National programs include support for youth, veterans, scholarships, and community service.
