INTERESTED IN JOINING

Step 1: Ask! If you’d like to join the lodge, please contact us at scotialodge@gmail.com and let us know a little about yourself and your desire to join. The comity of inquiry will happily meet with you to answer any questions you might have and let you get a feel for our membership.

Step 2: The Interview. Within a few weeks of submitting your petition you will be Invited to minimum of 3 Festive board. This is a chance for you to meet some of our members and get to know each other in an informal setting; interviews can be conducted at your home or at the local coffee shop etc, we encourage your loved ones to be part of the conversation! after a probation period of 12 months at the next official lodge meeting the members you met will give their impressions and a vote will be taken.

Step 3: The Initiation & Development Process. Once you have been accepted as a candidate to the lodge you will be given a mentor and enter the initiation & development process. There are three “degrees” in the process of becoming a Master Mason, each marked by a ceremony, a brief lecture, and a task for the candidate who seeks to attain the next degree. These are designed to introduce you to the tenets and goals of freemasonry as well as explain some of our symbols and history. Generally more than one candidate completes this process at the same time, and during your travels you will meet and get to know the rest of the lodge members well. Once you complete all three degrees you will be a full member of the lodge and a Master Mason. This entitles you to join other related organizations if you wish.
