Educational opportunities:

As reported by SW Ernie Walker at the March 2026 Regular Communication, the Master Craftsman Online College (MCOC) has released a suite of 5 courses focused on the Fraternity's connection with the founding of the U.S.A. Although this series is specifically associated with the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction, the courses are open to all Master Masons.
