A Little Bit About Us...
Scottish Rite Creed
Human progress is our cause, liberty of thought our supreme wish, freedom of conscience our mission, and the guarantee of equal rights to all people everywhere our ultimate goal.
The Mission of Scottish Rite Freemasonry
To be the premier fraternity of Men of Integrity and Good Character by providing opportunities for personal growth, leadership skills, education and social interaction based on the values of friendship, charity, patriotism, tolerance and a belief in a Supreme Being. To that end we commit to making a positive impact on mankind, promoting our community and providing value to the Masonic fraternity.
Scottish Rite Foundation of Florida
We are a strong supporter of the Scottish Rite Foundation of Florida, a charity organization helping children with communication and learning disabilities. Here in Fort Myers we are partnered with the John Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Clinic, and have been for over 62 years. We hope to continue our support to this worthy cause for many more years to come.
