About Us

The New Jersey Scottish Rite is part of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry within the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. It is one of the most active and respected appendant bodies of Freemasonry in the state, offering Master Masons the opportunity to expand their understanding of Masonic teachings through advanced degrees.

What We Do

The Scottish Rite confers degrees from the 4th to the 32nd, each offering moral lessons and philosophical insights that build upon the foundation laid in the Blue Lodge. These degrees explore themes such as justice, integrity, spirituality, and the value of service to others.

Our Core Values

Six core principles guide our members:

• Reverence for God
• Devotion to Country
• Integrity
• Justice
• Tolerance
• Service to Humanity

These values are central to all our teachings and activities, fostering a strong moral and ethical framework among our members.
