The Knights of the Order of Saint Andrews (KSA) provide critical support to the Valley's committees, assist at events, and promote active membership. 

 

Some examples of what the KSA does include:

• Provide members to assist all of the Valley’s Committees.

• Fill in non-speaking parts in degrees.

• Welcome Members, Visitors, and Candidates.

• Promote Scottish Rite Masonic education.

• Embrace the Nine Virtues of a Knight of St. Andrew.

• Serve several roles at special Valley events.

 

There is no “official” headquarters or central authority of the KSA. However, there are many chapters across the United States, and there is even another chapter in Michigan.  The attire and regalia can vary from chapter to chapter, and there is no singular uniform other than the Glengarry.  Most chapters have adopted the insignia developed by the Guthrie Chapter (shown below) for their recognition lapel pin and badge.

 

The Knights of St. Andrew of Grand Rapids is a limited group. We are limited to a total of 50 members, consisting of 32 Knights and 18 Squires.

 

If you are interested in joining the Order, you can contact any KSA member, the Secretary, or the Venerable Master. We are an invitation-only group.
