Massachusetts - Grand Encampment
The Massachusetts Grand Encampment was established in 1844 and is the governing body for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Encampments in Massachusetts. The 4th Saturday in March is when our Grand Session is held , unless it conflicts with Easter that year.
Membership is open to all Third Degree members in good standing. The branch aims to further the work of Odd Fellowship and impart the principles of Faith, Hope, and Charity. In the United States and Canada, membership in the Encampment is open for men and women holding the third degree in the Odd Fellows Lodge. Traditionally, however, the Ladies Encampment Auxiliary (L.E.A.) and Grand Ladies Encampment Auxiliary (GLEA), were formed for women who are members of a Rebekah Lodge in good standing.
