In 1761, Stephen Morin was commissioned to introduce the Rite into the New World. At first, he established the Rite in Kingston, Jamaica, and San Domingo. Corps of Rites were founded on the mainland in New Orleans, LA in 1763, in Albany, NY in 1767, in Philadelphia, in Charleston, and so on.

In 1786 the Great Constitutions were adopted to bring order to the chaos that dominated the organization of degrees in Europe. These brought the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite to its present form, increasing the number of Degrees to 33 - Degree governing the Supreme Council. The great constitutions of 1786 were adopted in the name of Frederick the Great of Prussia (as the titular leader of the Rite). Shortly after its promulgation, Frederick the Great died of an incurable disease.

No Scottish Rite Degree seems to have originated in Scotland. In fact, the term Scottish is just a translation of the French word écossais, which appears in the title of some degrees of the Rite of Perfection.

More about the origins and history of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite can be found on the site To the Supreme Mother Council of the World.

On May 31, 1801, a Supreme Council was formed in Charleston under the auspices of the Great Constitutions, which absorbed the Rite of Perfection and subsequently issued authorizations for other Supreme Councils. Consequently, all of today's regular Supreme Councils originate, directly or indirectly, in this Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America.

In 1813, the Southern Jurisdiction established the 33rd Supreme Council for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States of America.

In 1845, the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction issued the operating license for a Supreme Council of England and Wales.

Today the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, the Supreme Mother Council of the World, is Jim Cole, 33.

The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite appears in Romania, in 1881, under the leadership of the Sovereign Grand Commander, Constantin Moroiu 33, just one year after the appearance of the Romanian Grand National Lodge, in 1880.

On December 27, 1922, the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania, under the leadership of Sovereign Grand Commander Jean Pangal 33, received the recognition of the Supreme Council of France, shortly thereafter in 1925, receiving the recognition of the Supreme Council (Mother) of World, Southern Jurisdiction in the United States.

Between 1948 and 1989, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania, along with all of Romanian Freemasonry, was banned by the communist regime.

On October 19, 1993, in Washington, the 33rd and Last Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania is reconsecrated by the Supreme Mother Council of the World.

Today, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania is recognized by most of the Supreme Councils in the world and is led by His Almighty and Illustrious Brother, Stelian Nistor 33.
