Seal featuring a pentagon with 5 colored sides labeled Love, Purity, Obedience, Truth, and Faith surrounding a Bible on a pulpit, with the outer green ring reading 'Golden State Grand Chapter - Order of the Eastern Star' and 'Established June 1923'.

The Golden State Grand Chapter felt the need for a youth department at the Forty-Second Annual Grand  Communication that convened in Vallejo, California in June 1923. Under the Supervision of Aline J. Houston, Grand Worthy Matron and James G. Edmonds, Grand Worthy  Patron, there the Youth Fraternity was created. 

For several years the youth stayed in homes during their Grand Youth Session. Soon the youth membership exceeded home accommodations and larger facilities were needed. 

Under the leadership of dedicated supervision, the youth have enjoyed rapid growth through the years. The membership today is in excess of two hundred fifty.
