IN THE BEGINNING:
The Social Order of the Beauceant is a ritualistic order with the theme of Faith, Loyalty, Love for God, the Order of Knights Templar and each other. Just as Knights Templar is known to be a Christian arm of Masonry, so is the Beauceant Christian Masonic ladies’ group. Its rituals are beautiful, impressive, based on the New Testament, and allows us to have a deeper appreciation of Templarism. We tell the story of the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Jesus Christ, who dedicated their lives to the protection of the men, women, and children during their pilgrimages to and from the Holy places sanctified by our Lord. That ancient brotherhood became known as the Knights of the Temple.
Our Order was started at the suggestion of the Commandery in Denver, Colorado in August of 1892 to assist them with the 25th Triennial Conclave of the Grand Encampment. The ladies so loved their work that they voted to expand their order in 1913 when again they assisted in hosting the Triennial.
Because Beauceant membership consists of the mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of a Knight Templar or of another Beauceant member, it has received the encouragement, good will and moral support of Sir Knights wherever established.
The Social Order of the Beauceant adopted the Knight Templar Eye Foundation as their official Charity in 1957, and the Order has raised millions of dollars for this cause. Each Assembly may also have other charitable causes of their choosing that they support. For more information on the KTEF, go to
ASSEMBLIES ALL AROUND US
Each Assembly of the Social Order of the Beauceant is chartered under the Supreme Assembly which was established in 1920.
The Supreme Assembly convenes once a year in a different area of the country to conduct the business affecting Supreme Assembly and all Beauceant Assemblies. A school of Instruction, exemplification of all ritualistic work, and the Installation of Supreme Officers happens at this time.

Currently there are 40 Assemblies nationwide. Cleveland Assembly No. 15 in Cleveland, Ohio has the distinction of being the oldest Assembly east of the Mississippi River.
How we got started in Georgia
In October of 2014, the first State assembly was chartered in Georgia. Georgia State Assembly membership represents ladies from Commandries all over the State of Georgia and is sponsored by the Grand Commandery of Georgia. Georgia State Assembly meets four (4) times a year (February, May, August and October) in the Grand Chapter Building in Macon, Georgia.
