THE KNIGHT OF THE DOUBLE EAGLE
AWARD PROGRAM
FOR THE
SCOTTISH RITE VALLEY OF BAKERSFIELD
Mission
The mission of the Knights of Double Eagle Award (KDEA) program is to reward Brethren who render service and support to their Valleys and to encourage and engage all Masters of the Royal Secret in participation of all activities.
Program
The Knight of the Double Eagle Award Program has been successfully used in the Southern and Northern Jurisdictions to encourage and reward brethren who render service and support to their Valleys. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Valley of Bakersfield is proud to offer this worthy program as well. Our version is designed to specifically encourage our Masters of the Royal Secret, 32º Scottish Rite Masons, to actively engage in the operation and support of this Valley, as well as to become examples that inspire their own progress, as well as encourage new members to join us. Being knighted in a formal annual ceremony, wearing the Knight of the Double Eagle Award (KDEA), and earning its additional decorations are all intended to mark a Master of the Royal Secret with distinction and signal his potential for leadership.
