Scottish Rite Masonry is an extension of the 1st Three Degrees in Freemasonry. It builds upon the Blue Lodge Degrees and is not a means of replacing or improving the beauty of the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason Degrees.
There are 32 Degrees of the Scottish Rite and a 33rd Degree bestowed to Scottish Rite Masons that go above and beyond and perform an extraordinary feat of service to the Rite. Scottish Rite Masonry's roots began in 18th century France and migrated to the United States during that era. Scottish Rite Masonry is spread over the globe just as is York Rite, with the later being the Christian Degrees.
To learn more about the Scottish Rite or you want to go through the Degrees, you can ask a Scottish Rite Brother or email The Builder. We will be happy to help you.
Welcome to the Southeast Alabama Scottish Rite Club page. Our club consists of Scottish Rite Masons from Southern Alabama, but mostly Covington County. We have been instrumental in placing Texas Scottish Rite Hospital's Dyslexia Training Program in several Covington County Schools and have raised a speakable amount for the Alabama Scottish Rite Foundation. However, without the support of several local groups, our success would not be what it is today.
One of our goals is to raise money for the Scottish Rite Foundation which helps children with certain learning disabilities to understand their differences and learn to function and learn as children should. We have several fundraisers during the year to supplement our cause. Please join our Crusade against learning disabilities. Reach us HERE.

What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects approximately 10 percent of children. Those diagnosed with dyslexia have trouble connecting sounds to letter symbols. This affects the way children with dyslexia learn to read and spell. Fortunately, major strides have been made in understanding the language-based disorder, many of them at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. Children with dyslexia can learn to read and be successful despite their learning differences.
For more information about the condition, including frequently asked questions, Texas Dyslexia Law, suggestions for parents and teachers and additional resources, please download TSRHC’s Dyslexia Defined materials.
