As my home PFS group's main set of PCs approach level 12, we are wondering if we can run the retirement arc scenarios ourselves or are we required to trek to a convention to have a Venture Officer or 5 star GM run them?
If you can buy them, you can run them. And you can buy them.
Also, if a GM runs the scenario can they apply the credit to their PC?
I don't know of any reason why not; it'd certainly make sense, given the purpose of GM credit.

Because of the way the rewards structure works in Eyes of the Ten, I would suggest not rotating players/GMs over the course of it.
Although running the whole thing (5+ slots) is a huge load. When I ran it at KublaCon this year it took me about 40 hours in prep to run the 5 slots and I still messed a few things up.

I haven't had a chance to run/play these yet but Omaha is getting close to its first full table of 12s. I've read Part 1 and it's a doozy. I'm really looking forward to the entire run.
What you should really do is come play them at Pacificon, Mr. Blome, then return home to prep and run the series for your local players. :)

Rob, would you mind PMing me with a short explanation- I haven't read the module yet so I don't know about the "rewards structure". If the rotating GMs are "taking the GM credit" in place of playing, does that affect said rewards?

Oh, I don't think there are special rewards involved Whisky Jack, it's just that if you want to 'retire' another character, having GM credit for the full EotT series is a good way to do it.
Having a few of the GM chrons spread across a few GMs and their characters is less pleasing than having them all to one GM and on one character.
I experienced this when I was trying to 'help' Pirate Rob by trying to schedule other GMs to share some of the load when he ran EotT for us: he wanted all the GM Chrons for one of his yahoos. Who was I to argue?

Well with 4.2 you may be able to get the boom from running anyway. Although last time this was brought up there were several people saying that this boon should be an exception.
If you have any questions about running I'm happy to give advice. Mike Brock has run it twice and I got some useful advice before I ran it and I'm sure he'd be willing to help you as well etc.
