Georgia Scottish Rite's Impact

Built on a mission.
Measured in lives.
The Scottish Rite is one of the world's most respected Masonic organizations — dedicated to moral leadership, intellectual growth, and service to humanity. For more than two centuries, the Rite has advanced a profound mission: to build informed men of character who are dedicated to God, family, and country, and who strengthen their communities and elevate society.
That mission is not measured in words. It is measured in scholarships awarded, children given a voice, and families served — year after year, across every corner of Georgia.
Brotherly Love. Tolerance. Charity. Truth.
These are not aspirations — they are the enduring commitments that govern every Valley in Georgia. Every scholarship awarded, every child given a voice through RiteCare, every leader developed in our lodge rooms flows from these four principles faithfully kept.
The Scottish Rite challenges its members to think deeply, lead responsibly, serve faithfully, and shine their light into every community they touch.
Four words.
A lifetime of practice.
More than
meeting places.
Across Georgia, six Scottish Rite Valleys are the boots-on-the-ground backbone of the Orient. They are schools of disciplined leadership, hubs of charitable engagement, and the direct link between our brotherhood and the communities we serve.
Strong Valleys create strong members. Strong members strengthen Georgia. The work done inside our lodge rooms is meant to be felt far outside them.
"In giving a child the power to speak, we unlock the promise of their whole life."
The Scottish Rite is not for everyone — it is for Master Masons in good standing who seek more Masonic light. If that describes you, the Scottish Rite of Georgia offers 28 additional degrees to deepen your understanding, expand your fellowship, and sharpen your service to God, family, and country.
If you are not yet a Mason, we do not solicit membership — but we are glad to share information. The path begins with Freemasonry, and the Grand Lodge of Georgia is the place to start.

Georgia Scottish Rite:
Where Leadership Is Formed, and Principles Live
Where Leadership Is Formed, and Principles Live
The heart of the Scottish Rite in Georgia lives in our Valleys, where fellowship is strengthened, leaders are developed, and ritual excellence is preserved with dignity.
Our Valleys are more than meeting places. They are schools of disciplined leadership and hubs of charitable engagement, where participation strengthens both the individual and the community.
- We believe informed men make better leaders.
- We believe liberty of thought strengthens society.
- We believe charity must be visible and measurable.
- We believe leadership is earned through service.
Strong Valleys create strong members.
Strong members strengthen Georgia.
Through statewide unity, principled governance, and a commitment to excellence, our work reflects a simple conviction: personal growth carries public responsibility — and what we build within our brotherhood must benefit the communities we serve.
A bright future is waiting for you.

Turning Masonic Principles Into Measurable Impact
For Children. For Students. For Georgia.
Since the 1950s, the Scottish Rite Masons have helped children with speech and language disorders through their RiteCare clinics.
The Scottish Rite Masons choose deserving students each year to receive $1,000 scholarships to further their education.
My daughter has made tremendous progress in the five years she has been with CCC for speech. Our friends and family have comzmented on the improvement in her speech. I believe this is due to the combination of knowledge and caring her clinicians demonstrate. The clinicians and supervisors really care about the clients and always use evidence-based practices. The one-on-one time to work on her speech goals is invaluable to us and this personalized engagement was the icing on the cake!
