ROTC & JrROTC Award

Picture
THE LINK BETWEEN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND ROTC: 

The creation of a federally funded officer training program that would provide a larger pool of prepared military leaders began with the Morrill Act of 1862, which established the "land grant" colleges. Part of the federal government's requirement for these schools was that they include military tactics as part of their curriculum, forming what later became known as Army ROTC with the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916.

THE CRITERIA FOR RECEIVING OUR AWARD:
Our definition of a deserving cadet is one that “shows a high degree of patriotism to his/her Nation and has demonstrated a high degree of academic performance and leadership.” 
 

ROTC/JROTC units are encouraged to work with their local
(participating) Camps and Departments in determining any additional requirements that may be used to determine a “deserving cadet.”

Eagle Scout Award

Picture
Since 1910 the Boy Scouts of America have contributed to the moral and
physical character of our communities by offering opportunities where young men can experience fun and adventure while learning the skills necessary for good citizenship and leadership.

One of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War many goals and purposes is to reward young men who achieve the status of Eagle Scout with a special
congratulatory letter and color Certificate of Commendation, suitable for framing. While we encourage any young man searching for that special community service project to look to us for inspiration on projects relating to the Civil War, we offer this certificate with no “strings attached” other than you must be an Eagle.
