Scottish Rite Caps and Upcoming events in the Orlando Valley!

What is the purpose of the hats?

If the apron is a badge of a Mason in Blue Lodge, the cap can be said to be the public badge of a Scottish Rite Mason. It is considered a part of the uniform and the different colors indicate the degree of the wearer. (black – 32nd, red – KCCH, white – 33˚)

The Scottish Rite Degrees

The Degrees of the Scottish Rite are one-act plays often staged with costume, scenery, special effects, and the full rigging of any production. Their purpose is to examine different philosophies, ancient religions, and systems of ethics. Through all of these, people have tried to answer certain universal questions. The Degrees of the Rite do not tell a person what he should think about these questions. Instead, they tell him about what great thinkers and civilizations of the past have thought, and they try to create a situation in which the candidate or Brother can gain insight. Agreeing with Socrates that the unexamined life is not worth living, the Rite helps with this self-examination by providing reference points.

There are four coordinate bodies within the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction:
Lodge of Perfection, 4°-14° (presiding officer - Venerable Master)

Chapter of Rose Croix, 15°-18° (presiding officer - Wise Master)

Council of Kadosh, 19°- 30° (presiding officer - Commander)

Consistory, 31°- 32° (presiding officer - Master of Kadosh)

Orlando Scottish Rite

Tattoos are a lifetime commitment - do you know what else is?? The Scottish Rite Fraternity... Its a lifetime commitment - sometimes our brothers get it inked because they fired up knowing they have a lifetime of friendship and fellowship to enjoy beyond our amazing degrees.

Are you looking for something more?? Are you a Master Mason in the Brotherhood of Freemasonry?? Are you searching for something special?? Are you ready to take a step into something great?? Well - The Scottish Rite is ready and waiting for you.

Freemasonry has its lodges in every city in the United States, and in almost every town and village. It has them on the desert, through the mountains, in the wilderness, and among what Isaiah described as "the isles of the sea." It has them in Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, Great Britain, Europe,
Africa, the Near East, India, Burma, China, Malaya, the Philippines, East Indies, New Zealand, and Australia; it had them in many other countries of the Old World until certain religious and political ideologies forbade their existence.

Not one of them was ever organized as the result of any Masonic missionary enterprise, because Freemasonry has no such enterprise; or for the purpose of making money, or as the result of a bargain with the political and ecclesiastical ruling powers. Each lodge came into existence of itself, and because a few Masons desired to have it so.
