We of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans (SCV) who ride motorcycles have banded together into a
special interest group within the organization. Members of the SCV are most
welcome and encouraged to join even if they do not have a motorcycle
(dismounted cavalry) at the time of submitting the SCV Mechanized Cavalry
Membership Application.
We currently have
one annual meet, which rotates to each host
state each year. Members living near each other are encouraged to gather on a
more frequent basis to attend camp meetings, dedications, re-enactments, and
other S.C.V. and U.D.C. events together. Even rides for fun are good to hone the
skills and fellowship of the South's new Mechanized Cavalry!
We have "Back
Patches" that you may wear, if you wish, at appropriate places and
times.
Had the motorcycle
been in existence during the War Between the States our ancestors would
certainly have utilized that mode of transportation. We are then the present
day mechanized cavalry, Confederate States of America, on-going.
There is a one time
fee of to cover an attractive back patch and Battalion Company
rockers. This fee also helps us pay for
the expenses of the group and membership activities.
There are currently
no annual dues or fees, and at this time not even a formal constitution or
by-laws, we are just a group of Johnny Rebs....
You may contact any
member of the SCV Mechanized Cavalry for a membership form.
