1. I have been asked to make a ruling on several matters by the Department of Ohio.
2. The honor of Past Department Commander is bestowed upon a brother upon the successful completion of a term as Department Commander .
3. A Past Department Commander is entitled to credentials to a National Encampment, to be granted by the Department so bestowing the honor, so long as that brother is in good standing.
4. The honor of Past Department Commander may not be transferred to another Department, even if the brother so honored is a dual member of a Camp in another Department. The section in the National Regulations for “Restoration of Rank” only applies if a brother loses the honor of Past Department Commander for some reason; such as resignation, discharge, transfer to a Camp in a different Department, being dropped from membership for failure to pay dues, ect.
5. A Past Department Commander is not eligible for the office of delegate or alternate delegate to the National Encampment, even if said brother is a dual member of Camps in more than one Department.
