The title of Honorary President of Skål International is a distinction that was awarded to some Past Presidents of the organisation in recognition of exceptional services to the Skål International Movement at the International level.
Following an amendment to the Statutes adopted by the General Assembly of Taipei, Taiwan, on 14 October 2008, this title ceased to be granted as of April 2009. Those members who were granted this title have the right to keep it.

The title of Membre d’Honneur of Skål International may only be awarded to an active, life or retired member for his distinguished services to the Skål Movement. The concession can also be made posthumously. These services should be considered for having encouraged the purposes, objectives and activities of the Skål International Movement.
The title is granted by right to members of the Executive Committee who have served for at least two years and are no longer part of it. The granting of the distinction requires an absolute majority of the votes of the Assembly and is granted for life, unless the person concerned renounces the distinction or is expelled from the Skål International.
