A Message From Division Commander
John Belcher
Welcome to the official website of the West
Virginia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The SCV
was formed in 1896 and has over 30,000 members worldwide. Our
purpose is to honor the memory of the Confederate soldier,
protect and maintain their monuments, battlefields, relics, and
gravesites, and preserve the true history of the War Between The
States. Members in over 700 camps nationwide participate in a
variety of civic and educational projects, including living
history presentations, memorial ceremonies, genealogy projects,
reenactments, and more. We welcome contributions of articles,
photos, maps, or letters pertaining to the Confederate experience
in West Virginia to post on this site. The West Virginia Division
SCV message
board is also available as a forum to discuss issues
of interest. If you are a male descendant of a Confederate
soldier or sailor and would like to learn more about your
Confederate heritage, I encourage you to join the SCV. Thank you
for visiting the website of the West Virginia Division
SCV!
Serving their memory,
John Belcher
Commander, West Virginia Division
Sons of Confederate Veterans
MESSAGE FROM THE WEBMASTER
Hello, as most are aware, we have decided to update
the division website with a new design. With the launching of
this new design we hope to make the Division Website easier to
navigate through and be as user friendly as humanly possible. We
had thoughts about changing the main header logo but with people
protesting that they liked it, no changes have been made to it. I
hope that everyone will enjoy the site as much as we have enjoyed
designing and building it! Please do leave your comments on the
Messageboard!
Thank You All For Your Support!

History:
Dr. James M. Edwards of Georgia founded the Stand Watie Scholarship Fund in 1975. The Stand Watie Camp No. 1303, Oklahoma City, took the lead in raising funds with generous support from Dr. Edwards who wanted to develop a scholarship program within the SCV. Dr. Edwards wanted to memorialize Stand Watie, not only for his Cherokee heritage, but for his remarkable courage and record of fighting for the Confederate States of America in Indian Territory and for being the last Confederate general (first American Indian to achieve the rank of general) to surrender in the field. Dr. Edwards also wanted the scholarship program open to anyone of Confederate heritage
