Charles was proposed into Freemasonry by his father W. Bro. George Vickers Scott, whose family Building Company constructed the purpose-built Masonic Hall at Dunston in 1932.
Charles was for many years the Chairman of The Dunston Freemasons Hall Company Ltd and he facilitated the viable Masonic Hall now enjoyed by the various Lodges and Orders meeting at Dunston.
On Thursday 3rd August 2017, W. Brothers Sandy Mathieson and Keith Liddell, Charity Steward and Secretary respectively, visited Charles at his home for the purpose of Sandy presenting him with his Festival Jewel.
