Scottish Rite

Okay, let's imagine that we are playing a game called "Scottish Rite." This game is a special kind of game that people play, kind of like a club or a group that you can join if you want.

Now, in this game, people pretend to be a special kind of group that does secret things. Imagine you have a secret club with your friends, and you have special secret codes and handshakes that only members of your club know. It's kind of like that!

In the Scottish Rite game, they have different levels or degrees that you can "unlock" as you play and learn more. It's kind of like when you play a video game, and the more levels you complete, the harder the game gets, and the more fun things you can do.

But in this game, instead of levels, the degrees in the Scottish Rite are different stages or steps that you can go through to learn more about the game and its secrets. Each degree has its own special name, like the Entered Apprentice or the Master Mason, kind of like different characters in a video game.

Now, the Scottish Rite game is based on a real-life group called the Freemasons. Freemasons are a bunch of grown-ups who are kind of like friends and help each other. They have been playing this game for a very long time, for hundreds of years. They do a lot of good things for their community, like helping people who are sick or giving money to charities.

So when people say "Scottish Rite," they are usually talking about this game that the Freemasons play. It's a fun way for them to learn new things, help others, and be part of a special group that does secret things together.
