All Grenadiers are entrusted with the legacy and reputation of the Regiment and recognize their obligation to ensure all of their actions work to preserve and enhance them. To this end, the Regimental Council has the responsibility to provide, as necessary, guidance and direction on all matters affecting the long-term well being of the Regiment and to ensure the continuity of Regimental customs and traditions.
