Mabel Emily Besant-Scott ("Mabs") (28 August 1870 in Leckhampton, Cheltenham – 22 May 1952 in Folkestone, Kent) was a Theosophist, Co-Freemason and Rosicrucian. She was the daughter of the famous Theosophist, Secularist, and Co-Freemason Annie Besant and her husband Rev.
Frank Besant.
She had an older brother named Arthur Besant. In 1892 Mabel married a journalist named Ernest Scott at Marylebone, London.
They emigrated to Australia where she had a daughter, Muriel, and became a Roman Catholic.
She returned to England with Muriel in 1909 but Scott did not sue for divorce until 1915.
For some time she assisted her mother in both British Co-Masonry and the Theosophical Society Adyar.
After her mother’s death, Mabel Besant-Scott briefly became the head of the British Federation of Co-Freemasonry.
A year later she abruptly resigned from Co-Freemasonry, joining the Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship shortly afterwards and taking with her some of her followers from Co-Masonry.
She was one of the most active members of this Rosicrucian theatre near Christchurch, which was led by George Alexander Sullivan.
