The Grand Encampment and Canton are advanced branches of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), focusing on fellowship, leadership, and service.
The Grand Encampment is part of the Patriarchal Degree, emphasizing spiritual growth, wisdom, and guiding principles for personal and community development. Members often engage in charitable activities and strengthen the bonds of the Odd Fellows community.
The Canton represents the highest branch, tied to the Patriarchs Militant degree, which incorporates a ceremonial and military-inspired structure. Cantons focus on disciplined service, ceremonial duties, and active support for IOOF causes and events.
Both branches provide unique opportunities for members to deepen their commitment to the IOOF’s principles of Friendship, Love, and Truth while making a positive impact in their communities.
