The National Society Children of the American Revolution
See the NSCAR Web site at http://www.nscar.org for further information.
Harriett Lothrop, a prominent citizen and 19th century children's author of Concord, MA, presented the idea for a children's
organization to the Daughters of the American Revolution Continental Congress in 1895; it was then chartered by the United
States Congress. Organized "for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country," C.A.R. has promoted
this vision to hundreds of thousands of members. These boys and girls are the leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow, now
in a second century of keeping patriotism alive.
C.A.R., the nation's oldest, largest, patriotic youth organization, offers membership to anyone under the age of 21,
lineally descended from someone who served in the Continental Army or gave material aid to the cause of freedom in the American
Revolution.
The Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) has founded the Corps of
Discovery society, a Missouri State Society (which has no Web site). Their purpose and membership requirements are similar
to those of the SAR. For information, call Mrs. Cathy Owens, current National Librarian and senior president
of the C of D, 1115 Valentine Road, Kansas City, MO 64111-3821; 816-931-1860.
