Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton Camp 273 SCV

Camp Policy for Cadet Membership

( ~ Adopted at Command and Staff Meeting, June 27, 2007 ~ )

The camp will only admit as cadet members, boys who are up to and including 11 years of age who have proper and documented ancestors and are sponsored by a SCV camp member or associate member who is current.

(Young men 12 and older must join as regular compatriots.)

Proper and documented ancestors means that a cadet applicant must present copies of the ancestor’s war service record, i.e. (Muster Roll) or an approved pension for him or his widow. Ancestors must have been serving military officers or enlisted men.

Confederate or State politicians, government workers or non-military signers of Articles of Confederation are not acceptable as veteran ancestors.
