Joining the Scottish Rite

You have taken the necessary steps to become a Master Mason.
Now you have an opportunity to expand upon your knowledge of Masonry,
to widen your circle of acquaintances, and to serve humanity in unique ways.

You may approach a 32° Mason to take the next step into Scottish Rite, or he may approach you
to suggest that you continue your Masonic journey, which should be a never ending path.

Although there is no higher degree than that of 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. The moral and ethical lessons will allow him
to be constantly reminded of his duty to God, family, country and fellow man.
