It is the mission of the Ventura Valley of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry to improve its members and enhance our community by teaching and emulating the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth while actively embracing high social, moral, and spiritual values including fellowship, compassion, and dedication to God, family and country.
We achieve this mission by providing further enlightenment to our members through educational opportunities, our philanthropic efforts, and our involvement with the brethren of our Masonic lodges.

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.
The Scottish Rite is one of the two major branches of higher-degree Freemasonry in which a Master Mason may proceed after he has completed the three degrees of Symbolic or Blue Lodge Masonry. The other branch is known as the York Rite, consisting of Royal Arch Masons, Royal and Select Masters and the Knights Templar.
The 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."
