How to Join
If You Are a Blue Lodge Mason Interested in Learning about More Light in Masonry?
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is commonly known as the Scottish Rite. It is one of several groups that are part of the worldwide fraternity known as Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite is the largest and most widely practiced Masonic Rite in the world and employs a Lodge system.
It is our mission to improve its members and enhance the communities in which they live by teaching and emulating the principles of Brotherly Love, Tolerance, Charity, and Truth while actively embracing high social, moral, and spiritual values including fellowship, compassion, and dedication to God, family and country.
There is a lot More.
While there is no Masonic degree more important than that of Master Mason, there is a long tradition—almost as old as Freemasonry—of “high degrees” that expand upon and elaborate the teachings and lessons of the first three degrees. The Scottish Rite degrees teach a series of moral lessons culminating in the 32°, Master of the Royal Secret. The Scottish Rite continues a Master Mason’s education in many ways:
4°-32° Degree work
Speakers at meetings
Leadership conferences
Scottish Rite Journal
Publishing Masonic books
Scottish Rite Research Society
To join the Scottish Rite you must:
be a Master Mason in good standing in a regular lodge;
complete a petition and include the appropriate fee;
attend a “Reunion” where the Scottish Rite Degrees are conferred.
