The Kansas Division of the SCV is comprised of five camps throughout the State of Kansas. If you're interested in civil war history and want to explore Confederate veterans membership, we can assist you in becoming a member of the SCV and guide you to the nearest camp. Most camps convene once a month, and many engage in various activities, including parades and picnics. As a non-political historical organization, we focus on studying civil war history, particularly in the context of Kansas and the Border War between Kansas and Missouri. Our meetings are open to anyone interested in joining us.

You do not have to be a "direct descendent" and may join if you had a collateral ancestor who served in the Confederacy.
The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South’s decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built.
Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes so that future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.
