Rh medium of communication between the captains (troop) under its jurisdiction and National Headquarters.

Where a Federation or State Organization is established it may serve as the medium of communication between the Local Councils and National Headquarters in matters that affect the general policy of all the Local Councils included in it.

Local Councils may also communicate direct with National Headquarters in matters that concern their own locality.

B.—FEDERATION OR STATE ORGANIZATIONS

A number of Local Councils may join together to form a Federation for mutual support. Local Councils belonging to it may delegate their general policy to the Federation but retain their power to control their Councils in local matters.

The officers of the Federation may be elected as required.

Field Captains may be employed for organizing their work.

The presiding officer is the Commissioner.

Membership in such a Federation is voluntary.

Or instead of a Federation of Councils a State Organization may be formed. The area under control will coincide with the State of the United States.
