Welcome to the Richmond KSA


Unlike most Knights of Saint Andrew chapters within the United States, the Valley of Richmond (at this time) has the unique distinction of utilizing Clans or regional local organizations in order to allow its members to be enabled to support their Richmond Temple without always having the need to drive to one location on the map.  This regionalization has the effect of activating the entire geographical area of the Valley without the logistical strain upon its members.  Each clan is a lower echelon of support to it’s KSA Chapter and each Chieftain works on behalf the Knight Commander and his chapter officers to support the needs of the General Secretary.

Clans - Middle English, from Scottish Gaelic clann, or “family”.  It is a traditional social unit in the Scottish Highlands, consisting of a number of families claiming a common ancestor and led by a family chieftain.   


Each Chapter is attached to a Valley within the Scottish Rite and is subordinate to that Valley; its purpose being a service organization to its Mother Consistory. There is no other higher governing body. Each Chapter adopts its own by-laws and determines its own membership requirements. The Knights of St. Andrew is open to all 32° "Black Hat" Scottish Rite Masons who are members in good standing of the Scottish Rite.  Knights pledge to be active members in their Valley functions and to be of service to their needs as required.

· You must be a 32° Mason to join. Our 32° KCCH and 33° members are not eligible to join, but subsequent to their advancement retain their KSA membership status.

· You must be a member in good standing in the Scottish Rite.

· You must desire to assist in the growth of the Fraternity.

· You must be committed to protecting the longevity of our Fraternity.

· You must, with firm dedication and will, desire to promote the work of Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
