About the Scottish Rite
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is commonly
known as the Scottish Rite. 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
Southern Jurisdiction these are the Lodge of Perfection (4°–14°), Chapter
of Rose Croix (15°–18°), Council of Kadosh (19°–30°), and the Consistory
(31°–32°). The Supreme Council confers the 33rd Degree of
Sovereign Grand Inspector General.
