Greetings, and welcome to the 2nd Texas Frontier District webpage. Our camp was founded in December,1999. Our members are a very active group. We participate in parades, monument dedications, grave markings, reenactments and educational presentations to schools, to name just a few of our activities. We also place approximately 1200 18"x12" flags on the graves of Confederate Veterans in Comanche, Erath and parts of Eastland County each year. Our camp has received numerous awards at all levels of the organization. We believe in the Charge given to all SCV members and do our best to live up to it. Contact us or give us a visit. We meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the F & M Motor Bank, 640 Texas Ave in DeLeon, Texas at 7:30 P.M.. Refreshments are always there and guests are welcome.
*************************************************
We currently have a major project that involves producing and selling Confederate POW medals and certificates. These will sell for $27 including shipping. These are a great way to honor our ancestors. For more information see the contact links below.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a genealogical-historical organization dedicated to preserving the history and honoring the
memory of our Confederate ancestors. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans,
and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia, in 1896,
the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history
of the 1861-65 period is preserved.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans is not affiliated with any other organization, with the exception of The Military Order of
the Stars and Bars, an organization for the male descendants of the Confederate Officer Corps and civil government officials.
