Minutes of Lodges of Instruction

Lodges of Instruction are required to maintain minutes that document the names of all Brethren present at each meeting, along with the Brethren appointed to hold office. These minutes must be made available upon request by the Grand Master, Metropolitan, Provincial or District Grand Master, the Board of General Purposes, or the Lodge granting the sanction. Additionally, any officer holding property belonging to a Lodge of Instruction must transfer that property to their successor or to an individual designated by the Lodge or the Grand Master upon leaving office. This ensures accountability and proper management of Lodge resources, reinforcing the organizational structure and governance within Masonic practices. Compliance with these regulations is essential for maintaining transparency and order within the Lodges of Instruction.
