Welcome!
Greetings and welcome to our website. On behalf of the officers and membership of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite – Valley of Youngstown, Ohio. We hope that you take a moment to browse our site and find out what Scottish Rite Masonry is all about.
Freemasonry is dedicated to making good men better. It focuses on the individual man, strengthening his character, improving his moral and spiritual outlook, and broadening his mental horizons. Freemasonry impresses upon the minds of its members the principles of personal responsibility and morality, encouraging each member to practice in his daily life the lessons taught through symbolic degrees. One of the universal doctrines of Freemasonry is the belief in the “Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God.” The importance of this belief is established by each Mason as he practices the three principal tenets of Masonry: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

“We will strive to be a fraternity that fulfills our Masonic obligation to care for our members.”

The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is an extension of the first three degrees of Craft Freemasonry. Here the member witnesses’ degrees from the 4° through the 32°. Each degree provides a moral lesson that can help the member be a better person. The Valley of Youngstown draws members of the Craft Lodges from Trumbull, Mahoning, and Columbiana counties of Ohio.

Scottish Rite Hockey Night was a great success!
On January 8th, Scottish Rite took it to the ice! With seats right up against the glass, there was non-stop action at the Covelli Center watching our beloved Youngstown Phantoms. In addition to our Scottish Rite members, we had an opportunity to meet 12 Master Masons in fellowship as well. From the food to the action on the ice, the entire event was a great success. Special thanks to Illustrious brother Zel Bush (Membership Commitee Chairman), and Brother Dan Bradaick for organizing a wonderful masonic evening.
