The Knights of Saint Andrew (KSA) is an organization within the Scottish Rite limited only to "black hat" 32° Scottish Rite Masons. Our purpose is to serve our Consistory in any way called upon and to give 32° members a way to get involved and broaden their Scottish Rite experience. Knights are designated by a tartan sash worn at all Scottish Rite functions. Many Knights choose to wear kilts, though they are not a uniform and not required. There is a one time fee of $75 to join, and all new members are Knighted in a ceremony held two to four times a year.

If you are a member of the Denver Scottish Rite and are interested in joining the KSA, please complete the application for membership.
