The National Society of the
Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) founded in 1895, is the oldest
patriotic organization for youth in America. Membership is open to
descendents of patriots of the American Revolution.
The age range is
birth to twenty-one. Meetings and activities are planned for all ages with
special
consideration given to younger members.
Members age 10 and under are
affectionately called "Pee Wee Patriots".
Members gain
invaluable
leadership experience in conducting meetings, following parliamentary
procedures and standard protocol, serving as delegates and speaking before
groups at local, state and national conferences. The responsibility
and privilege of selecting officers helps members gain an understanding of
the
democratic process.

Requirements
"Any boy or girl under the age
of twenty-one is eligible for membership in the National Society of the
Children of the American Revolution who is lineally descended from a man
or woman who, with unfailing loyalty, rendered material aid to the cause
of American Independence as a soldier, sailor, civil officer, or
recognized patriot in one of the several Colonies or States, or of the
United States, provided that the applicant is personally acceptable to the
Society." (Article III, National Bylaws)
