Democracy

The decision making processes of the Grand Lodge of Scotland is very democratic. Every Daughter Lodge has the right to send three representatives to meetings of Grand Lodge (known as Communications) which take place in February, June and October. In the interim, day to day administration is in the care of Grand Secretary (Brother J. Euan Edment) with the assistance of a number of Committees.

Deliberations

The deliberations of these Committees are debated by Grand Committee (a body comprised of elected members from which members of other Committees are drawn) and are then referred to a Communication of Grand Lodge for approval. A ‘Communication’ is a meeting of Grand Lodge where all who are entitled to do so may vote on any matter laid before it in accordance with the Constitution and Laws. This is ‘Grand Lodge assembled’ and is the ultimate authority on all matters pertaining to the Scottish Craft.
