The Black Hat Program
Once your journey begins as a Scottish Rite 32° Mason it
is important to become involved in the many activities
available to you and your family. It will increase your
opportunities to interact with your new found
brotherhood while having your family at your side on
most of those occasions. The Membership Committee
has initiated an incentive to help you increase your
involvement through the Black Hat Program. The Black Hat Program gives you the opportunity to earn a free Black 32° Cap as pictured above. This program is open to every member of the Fall Reunion Class and Valley of Steubenville member who is not a VSA or MSA. The members who decide to participate must attend at least SEVEN (7) Valley activities throughout the year. These will be recorded by the brother on his Black Hat Program card. The caps will be presented at a special awards ceremony.
