While the four bodies of the Scottish Rite meet once a month for dinner and a stated business meeting, the members of the Valley have many other opportunities to join together in fellowship and to better server this active organization. While certain clubs like the 33° Club, KCCH and Knights of St. Andrew have membership restrictions, the remaining organizations are open to all Scottish Rite Masons in the Valley.

	Members of the Temple Guard perform the duties that relate to the operation of the Temple for both reunion and non-reunion events. The Temple Guard is an organized group that meets regularly and provides the backbone of the Temple at special events. The club meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7 :00 PM (except July & Aug.) at the Scottish Rite Temple on the Mezzanine level. Dress is casual and refreshments are served. President for 2006 is Bobby W. Irvine (816) 450-3523
The Royal Order Of Ducks is a temple club that shines best during the valley reunions for the presentation of degrees. There are a number of activities that go into the presentation of the degrees and each of these activities is handled by separate committee under the direction of the chairman. The Director of the Work coordinates all the several committees’ activities. The behind the scenes people of stages, properties, sound, spots, and makeup are members of this important club. Flight Commander for 2008 is Ron Hewitt (816) 746-5497.
	The Knights of St. Andrew is an order in the Scottish Rite exclusively for the "black hats". Their purpose is to grow the Scottish Rite in Kansas City by giving young members a vehicle through which their efforts can make a difference. Special emphasis is being made by the order to raise funds for the preservation of the Temple. The Knights of St Andrew Meets twice per year immediately following the close of each reunion in the Temple Auditorium. The Venerable Master for 2005-2006 is Adam Fauss, 32° (816) 246-9213

Since the Valley of Kansas City is comprised of members who travel long distances to attend meetings and because not all members have the luxury to travel a long ways to the temple and then home again after a monthly Wednesday meeting, local clubs were established to allow the brothers in a given area to meet and share knowledge without the travel that is required to the temple. These "Local Clubs" are self sufficient and often sponsor their own fund-raisers which allows them to sponsor candidates for membership, assist the Valley with special projects and further the growth of Freemasonry! Many clubs meet at local restaurants and reservations help to insure that the business is properly staffed for dinner.
