Scottish Rite Masons

Scottish Rite Masons are members of a branch of Freemasonry, a worldwide fraternal organization focused on personal development, moral uprightness, and community service. The Scottish Rite offers additional degrees—beyond the basic three—to deepen members' understanding of moral and philosophical teachings. These degrees explore themes like justice, charity, and the pursuit of knowledge, often through symbolic rituals and allegories. Membership emphasizes brotherhood, self-improvement, and ethical conduct, aiming to foster meaningful connections and positive contributions to society. The Scottish Rite is open to men of good character interested in exploring moral and philosophical ideas within a fraternity committed to moral and spiritual growth.
