The Scottish Rite’s answer to the “hall of fame” is the Grand Cross Court of Honor.

It is the highest honor that the Supreme Council can bestow on a member, and it is reserved for those who have performed exceptional, extraordinary and prolonged services to the Fraternity and or humanity.

To put a finer point on it, in terms of numbers, there are currently only 81 men in the world who hold this honor, which is often called the greatest honor in Freemasonry … - Arturo de Hoyos, 33rd Degree, is also a Grand Cross. He is also currently the Grand Archivist and Grand Historian of the Scottish Rite.
