Our work in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean is led by our very active Grand Priory of the Americas.

The Grand Priory operates through local Encampments, and as these become firmly established, they are upgraded to full-blown Commanderies in the fullness of time.

In addition to supporting the Order’s overall work with projects for communities in Africa and the Middle East, the Grand Priory also fundraises for a number of good causes closer to home. In the United States, our members support a number of charities, most notably the Green Beret Foundation, which supports relief and rehabiliation work with veterans of the US Army Special Forces. Our Belize encampment is looking to set up an ambulance service, and our Jamaica encampment works to support local amputees.
