About the Scottish Rite
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is commonly known as the Scottish Rite. Our symbol is the double-headed eagle. It is one of several appendant groups of the worldwide fraternity known as Freemasonry. Each Valley has up to four Scottish Rite bodies, and each body confers a set of degrees. In the Northern Jurisdiction these are the Lodge of Perfection (4°–14°), Council of Princes of Jerusalem (15°–16°), Chapter of Rose Croix (17°–18°), and the Consistory (19°–32°). The Supreme Council confers the 33º of Sovereign Grand Inspector General.
The Scottish Rite is one of the two branches of Freemasonry in which a Master Mason may proceed after he has completed the three degrees of Symbolic or Blue Lodge Masonry. The other branch is known as the York Rite, consisting of Royal Arch Masons, Royal and Select Masons and the Knights Templar.
