Regulation 34 establishes the precedence order for Provincial and District Grand Officers, both present and past, as outlined in the schedule of Regulation 31(a). A Deputy Grand Superintendent ranks immediately after a Past Grand Superintendent, followed by a Past Deputy Grand Superintendent. An Assistant to the Provincial or District Grand Principals ranks next after a Past Third Provincial or District Grand Principal, while a President of a District Committee of General Purposes ranks just before a District Grand Scribe E. Regulation 34A clarifies that, except for Grand Superintendents, Provincial and District Grand Officers can claim precedence only within their respective Province or District. Nonetheless, all such officers are permitted to wear their designated regalia at Royal Arch meetings, as specified in Regulations 88, 90, 94, 96, and 97. This regulation ensures a structured hierarchy and maintains the dignity of the offices within the Royal Arch.
