May I thank you for showing an interest in our Order and I welcome you to our website and hope you find your visit interesting.

​

The current Ancient and Masonic Order of the Scarlet Cord is based on an earlier Order, The Royal Order of Knights of the Scarlet Cord, developed in the British Isles in 1889, which was itself derived from 18th Century documents from the Amsterdam Masonic archives.

The Royal Order of the Masonic Knights of the Scarlet Cord was originally founded in 1889 but fell into abeyance in 1929 and remained so until it was revived as part of the Order of the Secret Monitor or Brotherhood of David and Jonathan around the turn of the century.

The Order proved so popular that it was decided to establish it as an independent Sovereign Order with the title of “The Ancient and Masonic Order of the Scarlet Cord in the British Isles and its Districts and Consistories Overseas”. The inauguration took place in a magnificent ceremony in the Grand Temple of Freemasons’ Hall, London, on 21st July 2010.

The Order has six grades, focusing on themes of faith, perseverance

​

​The Ancient and Masonic Order of the Scarlet Cord ceremonies and rituals are based on Old Testament narratives, particularly the story of Rahab. 

 

One of the youngest and most vibrant in the Masonic Orders.
