The Orient of Delaware continues to develop new and creative management practices under the leadership of Deputy Scott. The old will not do. If you want the same results, keep doing the same old thing. The Orient is practicing out with the old and in with the new. As Deputy, “ I say to be one ask one is out, but if you see one get one is in. ” Our Sovereign Grand Inspector Generals meet every quarter to lay out goals for the United Supreme Council programs they manage in support of the Sovereign Grand Commanders Goals. “ Recruit, Reclaim and Retain ” are major goals across the Orient. LIFETIME MASONIC LEGACY AWARD SGIG Scott, 33 o , conceived the idea of a Lifetime Masonic Legacy Award Luncheon and copyrighted it. GIG Solomon L. Henry, Most Worshipful Past Grand Master of Delaware, and its Jurisdiction, was selected to be the first recipient of this award. The venue to honor GIG Henry was determined to be a luncheon to recognize him. The Delaware Commanders of the Rite (DCOR), with the Delaware Council of Deliberation (DCOD) providing administrative support, coordinated the luncheon. The team of GIG Maurice D. Mobley, Sr. 33 o , President of the Commanders of the Rite; SGIG Johnie A. Burton, Jr., 33 o , DCOD Secretary; and GIG Garcia A. Walker, 33 o , were tasked to bring the Luncheon to life. It was a resounding success and was greatly appreciated by GIG Solomon L. Henry. Remarks were brought by GIG Henry ’ s family, GIG Frederick A. Duffy, 33 o (MWPGM), GIG Isacce Morris, 33 o (MWPGM), and readings by GIG Garcia Walker, 33 o , and SGIG Johnie A. Burton, Jr., 33 o , with Master of Ceremonies GIG Jeffery V. Chandler, 33 o . Remarks were brought by SGIG Edward M. Brooks II, 33 o , Secretary General of the Holy Empire, representing Sovereign Grand Commander Melvin J. Bazemore, 33 o , United Supreme Council, Northern Jurisdiction, United States of America, 33 o . Closing remarks were brought by GIG Mobley, Sr., 33 o , DCOR President, SGIG Scott, 33 o , Deputy, and the Honorable Everett Lewis, Jr., 31st Most Worshipful Grand Master, of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Jurisdiction of Delaware.
Orient of Delaware Sovereign Grand Inspector General James A. Scott, Deputy
As Deputy for the Orient, I am very proud of our members, both Fraters and our Loyal Ladies of our Golden Circle. Serving as Deputy of the Orient is never easy. The Members of the Orient of Delaware reach the finish line regardless of how they get there. In my opinion, the results is the same, we accomplished our goal! While some organizations are declining, the Orient of Delaware is consistent and of recent, increasing its membership in both the Scottish- Rite houses and the Order of the Golden Circle. The level and character of membership is of an excellent level of professional folks. “ Growth and comfort never coexist ” said Ginni Rometty, former CEO of IBM. Growth continues in the Orient of Delaware. Mission and purpose are the supporting factors. As we focus on building the Scottish-Rite organizations, we level the playing ground by supporting our Ancient Craft Lodges and our Jurisdictional Grand Lodge and its activities.
