Valleys
Valleys are the basic groups that make up Scottish Rite in Vermont. They correspond to Symbolic lodges, but cover a far larger area and are composed of Brothers from many Lodges. There are four Valleys in Vermont: the Valley of Brattleboro, the Valley of Burlington, the Valley of Montpelier and the Valley of Rutland. Each Valley serves a specific regional area.
In Vermont each Valley is made up of at least three bodies, the Lodge of Perfection, the Council Princes of Jerusalem and the Chapter Rose Croix. Each body is responsible for a set number of degrees: the Lodge of Perfection confers the 4° through the 14°; the Council Princes of Jerusalem confers the 15° and 16°; finally the Chapter of Rose Croix confers the 17° and 18°. The Valley of Burlington is home to the Vermont Consistory, the highest Body of our Valleys, which confers the degrees from the 19º through the 32º. All Scottish Rite members in Vermont who are 32˚ Masons are members of the Vermont Consistory.
Each valley is responsible for its own schedule and its own administration.
