  • A constitution and bylaws that are submitted to, and approved by, the NSS.

  • A minimum of at least five members of the Society.

  • It is NSS policy that full membership in a grotto requires NSS membership. However, in practice, this is often not the case.


An annual report describing various aspects of the grotto is submitted to the NSS.
