Allied Masonic Degrees
The Allied Masonic Degrees are detached degrees some of which, many years ago, were conferred under Craft warrants and formed part of the then loosely governed Freemasonry of the period. Many of these detached degrees became dormant in some places, although in others they were conferred as side degrees. In time, the better of these degrees were grouped together in an organized body under the title of the Allied Masonic Degrees.
Behle-Simons Council № 544 is a regular Masonic body, chartered under the Grand Council of the Allied Masonic Degrees of the United States of America , with permission to operate in Utah by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Utah .
