The National Society of the Children of the American Revolution, founded in 1895, is the oldest patriotic youth organization in our country. Membership is open to descendants of patriots of the American Revolution. The mission of the C.A.R. is to train good citizens, develop leaders and promote love of the United States of America and its heritage among young people.
The North Carolina Society was organized on March 8, 1938. There are many local societies across North Carolina where members gain invaluable leadership experience in conducting meetings, following parliamentary procedures and observing protocol, serving as delegates and speaking before groups at local, state and national conferences. Members also participate in community activities and promote the history of our country. Membership is open to children under the age of twenty-one who are lineally descended from someone who rendered material aid to the cause of American Independence as a soldier, sailor, civil officer, or recognized patriot in one of the Colonies or States, or of the United States.
