General Order #10
Series 2007 – 2008
21 January 2008
Brothers,
- With the formation of two Departments, there have been substantial questions over the standing of a Past Camp Commander concerning their right to voting credentials at a Department Encampment. In order to clarify this I am hereby publishing this General Order;
- Past Camp Commanders in good standing are only entitled to credentials from the Camp that they Commanded.
- Should a Past Camp Commander allow his dues to go into arrears and is no longer in good standing with the Camp that he had commanded, his voting status as a Past Camp Commander is forfeited.
- If a Past Camp Commander should transfer to a new Camp, their voting status as a Past Camp Commander is forfeited.
- If the Camp that a Past Camp Commander is a member of ceases to exists, their Past Camp Commander voting status is forfeited.
- If the Past Camp Commander remains a member in good standing of the Camp that he Commanded and joins another Camp as a dual Member he still holds voting rights as a Past Camp Commander in the Camp that he commanded but doesn’t have the voting rights as a Past Camp Commander in the Camp he has just joined.
- Should a Past Camp Commander transfer from the Camp that he had commanded, then at a latter date rejoins the Camp he had commanded, he must request and be approved for the restoration of rank prior to him being issued a credentials card as being a Past Camp Commander. A credentials card can not be issued to him as a Past Camp Commander until his rank has been restored.
- Past Camp Commanders that desire to have a credential card to the Department Encampment and for what ever reason no longer qualify for voting credentials as a Past Camp Commander may apply for the restoration of rank through the process described in the Constitution and Regulations. A credentials card for a Department Encampment as a Past Camp Commander can not be issued to him until the restoration of rank is approved.
So ordered this 20th day of January, 2008;
Charles E. Kuhn, Jr.
Commander in Chief
National Order, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
Attest:
Donald Palmer
Secretary
