Freemasonry is the oldest, largest, and most widely known fraternal organization in the world. It is comprised of men who seek to become better through their association with one another and their families.

Freemasonry's relationship with the Boy Scouts started with a Freemason named Daniel Carter Beard.  The Scouter of the Year award honors one Mason who has dedicated his life to both Fraternities. The Daniel Carter Beard Award is another honor that is to be bestowed to only eight Master Masons a year for their work in Scouting.

The New Jersey Masonic Blood Program is designed to assure availability of blood products for Masons and Non-Masons equally.  To do this we encourage development of Blood Programs within Lodges that do not currently have them, and work to strengthen Lodges and Districts that currently do have programs in existence.  In either case we must work with the local Blood Centers to fulfill this mission.
