Although there is no higher degree than that of a Master Mason, the 29 degrees of the Scottish Rite serve to enrich the philosophy of the Symbolic Lodge
A Mason who chooses to further his Masonic experience by becoming a 32° Scottish Rite Mason will be expanding upon the fundamental principles of Freemasonry.
Participating in the inspiring, convenient and enjoyable programs and fellowship activities for members is the means of getting full value from a Scottish Rite membership.
“Wherever Freemasonry flourishes there will be found the highest type of citizenship and the best standard of living.” - Albert Pike, 33°
Degrees are the heart of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, and expand on Masonic teachings principally in the areas of morality, history and philosophy.
In the Scottish Rite the degrees are dramatized generally twice a year during the spring and fall reunions.
