Is the Brotherhood international?
By the year 1900, The Brotherhood of St. Andrew had granted charters to Chapters in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Philippines, China, South Africa, Panama, Scotland, Brazil and Alaska. Due to the inconvenience of travel and communication, the Brotherhood encouraged the formation of separate National Councils in foreign countries to oversee the work being done there by the Brotherhood Chapters. Some Chapters in Philippines, Canada, and Africa still are associated with the Brotherhood in the United States. Japan, Philippines, Jamaica, and the West Indies are among those who maintain separate National Councils.
