East Kent Branch

Grenadier members are Officers who have formerly served in the Regiment and Discharged Soldiers provided they have completed their recruit training in the Regiment and have been awarded a character assessment of not less that "SATISFACTORY".

All Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Guardsmen who have completed Recruit training, who are still serving and who have links to locations within our catchment area are classed as Serving Members of the East Kent Branch.  The Regiment generally notify Branches of who such persons are; although there are occasions where we are already aware of a members service status.

Members of Associations of other Regiments of the Household Division may be elected as Associate Members of a Branch. 

The Household Division consists of the Life Guards, the Blues and Royals (Household Cavalry Regiment), Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards (Foot Guards).

At the discretion of the Branch Committee, non-Household Division serving and non-serving personnel may be granted Associate membership of the East Kent Branch.

Associate members are treated no differently than Grenadier members are and share the same status within the East Kent Branch.

Honorary membership is granted to ladies and gentlemen who have not served in the Grenadier Guards, but who have given outstanding service to the Regiment. Branches may appoint Honorary Members at the discression of their committee.

Social membership may be granted to ladies and gentlemen who have not served in the Grenadier Guards, but who enjoy the company of members of our Branch and who support our functions. The Branch Committee appoint Social Membership. Social Members pay the annual Branch membership.
