To those who have expressed an interest in joining the Sons Of Confederate Veterans, but, whom are NOT blood-related, you can join the Friends of the SCV.
You can list our camp as referring camp, which is Charles T. Zachry SCV Camp #108. The form states: I have enclosed a check in the amount of $40.00, made payable to the SCV for an initial membership in the Friends of the SCV for which I will receive a membership certificate, lapel pin and a one year subscription to the Confederate Veteran magazine which is published six times each year. I promise to always conduct myself in a manner that will reflect positively on the Sons of Confederate Veterans, its members, camps and divisions and especially the Confederate soldiers and sailors whose good names and military service the organization honors by its very existence. Furthermore, I declare that I am not a member of any anti-American or hate group such as the KKK, neo-Nazi or other White supremacy organization, including groups whose objectives are contrary to the mission and purpose of the SCV as described above and in official SCV literature. The SCV General Headquarters (GHQ) will provide notice annually, beginning about one year after the initial Membership is processed, that a payment of $30.00 is required to maintain active membership in the Friends of the SCV in order to continue the magazine subscription. Click here for the official form and to read the requirements. Below is authorization which we received today from the SCV headquarters verifying this. Sir, There is no group, just an associate membership category for those without Confederate ancestors. The form you are requesting with info on the new Friends of the SCV program is posted on our website: http://www.scv.org/pdf/FOSCV_MembershipApplication.pdf Thanks, Bryan A.

We make for them no confession of wrong, we plead for no forgiveness of error, we ask no higher honor and no prouder fate than by their deeds we may be judged, and our most fervent prayer is that the descendants of these heroes may be worthy of their sires." ~ Edward Ward Carmack 1858-1908 "Coming generations and historians will be the critics as to how we have acted our parts....We have no regrets for what we did, but we mourn the loss of so many brave and gallant men who perished on the field of battle and honor." ~Sam R. Watkins "Co. Aytch" 1st Tenn. Inf. "Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance." ~Jefferson Davis |
