Consuls vision for the future of the Sub-Groups of The Augustan Society, Inc., is:
Sub-Groups of the Society are of three types:
- Senior Sub-Groups
- Lineage Groups
- Unrelated groups
If the third items seems odd, it is because several organizations with related goals have been given to the Society, and others are widely associated with the Society due to having had common management during the time of our Founder.
Contents
- 1 Senior Sub-Groups
- 2 Lineage Groups
- 2.1 Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
- 2.2 Society of Descendants of Ireland
- 2.3 Society of Descendants of Scotland
- 2.4 Society of Descendants of the Conquest
- 2.5 Order of Descendants of Ireland
- 2.6 Order of Descendants of Scotland
- 2.7 Order of the Conqueror and Order of the Conqueror's Companions
- 3 Unrelated Groups
Senior Sub-Groups
The senior sub-groups are distinguished by having a variety of requirements for entry, which in all cases now includes membership in the Society in-good-standing, registration of arms with the Society, an entry fee, insignia, and annual dues.
Order of the Augustan Eagle
This serves as the Society's court of honor, and is one of the highest honors granted. It is limited to 24 members, plus the President in his capacity as the Chief of the Order of the Augustan Eagle. It is governed by the Eagle Council, to whom has been assigned the responsibility to set Member Benefits, the Warrant of Precedence, and to have the right of first consideration of any amendments to the Mission Statement. It is called to meet not less than annually.
In recent years, most participation by Eagle Council members has been via proxy, largely negating the value of their offices.
Proposal: The Order of the Augustan Eagle should repeal the provision of their Rule that permits proxies at meetings.
Noble Company of the Rose
This exists to foster the true ideals of chivalry. Members fulfill their duties to their fellow men through an active practice of the Code of Chivalry and by individual and concerted charitable activities, and to sponsor and maintain the Rose Chapel at Headquarters (when possible). Meetings in Chapter were at one time called annually to elect the Magister Rosae for each year, and to conduct other business. This has not happened in some time.
Proposal: The Noble Company of the Rose should return to their former practice of meeting in Chapter each year during the Annual Convention.
The Noble Company is governed by the Rose Council. It is called to meet not less than annually.
In recent years, most participation by Rose Council members has been via proxy, largely negating the value of their offices.
Proposal: The Noble Company of the Rose should repeal the provision of their Rule that permits proxies at meetings.
Hereditary Order of Armigerous Augustans
This group was disbanded, and resurrection is not recommended.
Lineage Groups
The lineage groups are distinguished by the requirements for entry, which do not include Augustan membership, and which do include lifetime membership, insignia, and in most cases a proven descent.
Proposal: The Society should name Deans for each of the Lineage Groups, and to encourage them to organize sufficiently that they may contribute to Society programs with more than their entry fees.
Proposal: The Society should consider the creation of additional Lineage Groups in areas not presently served by another organization, and where there is sufficient member interest to suggest that the new group would be a productive part of the Society's programs.
Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
Society of Descendants of Ireland
Society of Descendants of Scotland
Society of Descendants of the Conquest
Order of Descendants of Ireland
Renamed Society of Descendants of Ireland.
Order of Descendants of Scotland
Renamed Society of Descendants of Scotland.
Order of the Conqueror and Order of the Conqueror's Companions
These two were merged and renamed Society of Descendants of the Conquest.
