Recognition of Grand Lodges

For those with a love of travel who wish to visit Lodges in other jurisdictions and geographies or those examining vistors to their Lodges, the our Grand Lodge recognizes the Grand Lodges listed on the Official Recognition of Grand Lodges.

A brother hailing from a Lodge under warrant from any of these Grand Lodges may be received as a visitor, under Section 213, if he can prove himself to be a member in good standing.

Members of other Grand Lodges cannot be recognized or received.

List of Recognized
Unless directed otherwise by Grand Lodge, visitors to your lodge from other Grand Lodges cannot be recognized or received. They can, of course, be greeted as visitors and enter a lodge with a delegation, but no further honour is accorded to them.
