“To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit the vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier’s good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.”

Lieutenant General Stephen Dill Lee, CSA April 1906

Our camp was originally chartered on April 13, 1899 and rechartered October 17, 2000. We strive to follow the charge given to us by General Stephen D. Lee through book donations to our community's libraries and placing historical markers in the St. George area. We participate in two to three parades a year and have won several trophies.

Many of our member's ancestors were members of United Confederate Veterans Stephen Elliot Camp #51 and their families have been a part of the community since before the American Revolution.
