The Antlers program was initially organized in the late 1930s and thrived through the early 1960s. Recently, a few Lodges have restarted the junior Elks program with great success.

Today, along with the Antlers' charitable and social activities, the Antlers serve as an important voice for youth and youth needs within the community. It is a chance for young people in our communities to get involved with the Elks in the many service-related projects that our Lodge sponsors. More importantly, it gives young people the opportunity to be leaders in our community in the service and social programs that they envision.
