Freemasons

Freemasonry is the world's oldest fraternal organization, evolving from medieval stonemasons' guilds, focused on men improving themselves morally and spiritually through shared traditions, rituals (degrees like Apprentice, Fellowcraft, Master Mason), and fellowship, emphasizing integrity, friendship, respect, and community service, operating in local groups called Lodges, and known for its symbols and occasional secrecy, promoting brotherhood and charitable giving.
