The Scottish Rite presents 29 degrees in furthering the principles and ideals of Freemasonry. The degrees are done at Reunions. The Lodge of Perfection gives the ineffable degrees, numbered 4° to 14°. The Council of Princes of Jerusalem presents the historical degrees, 15° and 16°. The philosophical degrees, 17° and 18°, are done in a Chapter of Rose Croix. The Consistory has the chivalric degrees, 19° to 32°.
