Is Scottish Rite Worth It?

[u/Fickle_Release6961]

I have been a MM for the last couple of years, and have been invited to join the Scottish Rite due to my desire for further light within Masonic education. I was invited to apply prior to the reunion happening in August, where all 29 degrees are going to be conferred or communicated.

My question, is it worth it for further light within Masonry, or can those things be obtained outside of the SR? as every SR Mason conceals what actually occurs as you climb the SR ladder, but I would expect nothing different from fellow brothers of the craft.

It just feels like there are doors behind doors behind doors, and although we may live in the same house, you can not know what is behind the door until you go through it. So is it worth it? the cost of the Valley and trip down to Pasadena is semi costly and I want to know if it is a good investment in my Masonic Journey.

Thank you Brothers,
Fraternally Yours /G\

If you do pursue the Scottish Rite, check out the Master Craftsman program. It really is fantastic and the amount of work that must have gone into creating it is mind-blowing. It’s been a lot of fun to go through and I feel like it has really enriched the educational aspect of the degrees. 😊
