History: http://www.sciots.org/BHistory/index.htm
In 1905, a number of Masons met in Mission Masonic Temple, in the City of San Francisco, for the purpose of forming a social club, where Masons could get together on an equal footing, free from the restraint of the lodge room, yet organized for the purpose of furthering Masonic teachings and applying, in a practical way, in everyday business affairs, the teachings of the fraternity.
The idea was an instant success. It was recognized that such an Organization filled a long-felt want because it brought the brethren into close contact in their daily lives; fostering the true spirit of fraternity; caused men to forget their worries, troubles, and cares of life; made them look upon the brighter side of things; and gave them new hope and joy. The slogan was: BOOST ONE ANOTHER! with the Moral --
Our neighbor's assistance and cooperation in your business affairs;
The strong grip of a friend to help you over the rough places in life;
A kind word spoken in your behalf or your defense;
A watchful care over your brethren in their journey through life;
And a full measure of innocent amusement;
Is worth many times more to you while living, than the most beautiful requiem, over the most unctuous sermon, or the most elaborate pyramid over your remains when you are dead. SCIOTRY is friendship, fellowship, and cooperation, and the spirit of Boosting One Another through unity in all things.
