We are a special interest lodge of some 30 years standing. All of our members are associated with or have been volunteers in the Scout Association. The Lodge is a member of the Kindred Lodges Association https://kla.org.uk. A national association of masonic lodges that support youth work, primarily scouting. This means we are able to, and do, visit special interest lodges up and down the country with similar values. We actively support local scouting and have raised funds to support local scouts attending the world jamboree and European jamborees. We have purchased specialist equipment for local scout groups and contributed funding for scout gang shows and other scout based activities.
What We Do
We enjoy our freemasonry. We invite family and friends to two of our meetings per year. The family enjoy social activities such as specialist speakers, quizzes, practical craft work, demonstrations, and the like whilst we conduct our masonic meeting. Then we come together to share good food and drink in a convivial atmosphere which lasts well into the evening. We are also a loose support network of scouting contacts across Durham.
Why Join Us
Scouting and Freemasonry are a natural partnership who share so many values, the Masonic values, Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, and the complementary Scout values, Fellowship, Helping Others and being Trustworthy. Both organisations have a driving mission to develop members to take more useful roles in society. In the Lodge we believe there is great value in meeting like-minded and committed people. Indaba Lodge has members who come from all parts of scouting, young leaders to the oldest wisest sages who have done it all. We support and encourage everyone.
