The Society of Descendants of Scotland (SDS) is a dependency of The Augustan Society, Inc. Headquarters Staff are assigned to manage the affairs of this lineage group, and an individual assigned to the SDS is called the SDS Administrator.

The SDS Administrator was a contractural duty of the Consuls, but with that office being eliminated at the end of 2017, it devolves onto Headquarters Staff generally.

The duties of Headquarters Staff with regard to the SDS include:

  • Preparing suitable petitions for membership;
  • Distributing petitions for membership on paper, via PDF files by email, and on the Online Store;
  • Receiving and processing such petitions, including confirmation with the Assistant Treasurer that proper payment has been made;
  • Forwarding submitted lineage information to the Genealogy Committee for review and approval;
  • Corresponding with petitioners about their petition and lineage (though the latter may involve direct contact with the Genealogy Committee if both deem that preferable);
  • Upon lineage approval, inducting petitioners into membership, including creating and mailing a certificate of membership and a letter from the Dean of the SDS if available, or from the President;
  • Notifying the Custodian of Insignia to send appropriate insignia;
  • Supporting the SDS Dean, when such office is filled;
  • Advising the President on suitable candidates for the office of SDS Dean; and
  • Other administrative, clerical, and ceremonial duties as may be required.
