Widows Sons of South Carolina

About Us

What Are the Widows Sons?

The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association is an International Association which is open to Masons from Grand Lodges who are recognized by:
1. The Commission for Information for Recognition,
2. The United Grand Lodge of England,
3. Conference of Grand Masters in North America

to enjoy the sport of motorcycling and have a desire to ride with and associate with their regular fraternal brothers. The goals of the Widows Sons is to contribute to the aid and relief of our Widows & Orphans, raise Masonic Awareness in the world of motorcycling, introduce the sport of motorcycling to Freemasonry while introducing Freemasonry to the world of motorcycling.

While we wear identifying patches or regalia, the Widows Sons are not a gang, MC, or a 1% Club. We are a Masonic Riders Association and represent the Masonic fraternity in a most positive light at all times. The Widows Sons raise Masonic Awareness while we attend public motorcycling events, and we support our Lodges in whatever capacity we are able. The Widows Sons have helped to increase Masonic membership through our public presence and visibility. We are a billboard for Freemasonry and must govern ourselves accordingly at all times.

The Widows Sons have proven themselves to be a positive asset to the fraternity around the world. Many of our chapters are proud to have current and Past Grand Masters as members. We regularly attract new members to the fraternity, and several of our chapters have Degree Teams who volunteer in doing Masonic work for many Masonic Lodges whenever possible.

The important thing to note is that it is NOT the patch or logo we wear that unites us, what unites us is the fact that we are Masons first, then Widows Sons.

The Widows Sons of South Carolina is recognized by the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina.
