The Corps basically follows a Naval theme with ranks and insignia. Note that the chapeaux, which are never called hats, are similar to the old naval uniforms. Cape colors are an indication of rank. Vice Supreme Masters wear blue capes and chapeaux. Masters wear gold capes and chapeaux.
Commanders wear purple capes and chapeaux.
Other Color Corps Members wear red capes and chapeaux. Within the local assemblies, the Master more or less sets the rules. Former Vice Supreme Masters, Former District Marshalls, and Past Faithful Navigators are all permitted to wear their respective capes and chapeaux when they finish their term of office. If you are presently a member of the 4th Degree and would be interested in joining the Color Corps contact our Faithful Navigator Joseph Murtha or Color Corps Commander William J. Kacvinsky.
