The Camp organization is the backbone of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. The following web sites for the Camps of the Department of Texas and Louisiana provide information about their meetings, programs, preservation work and other activities.
A Camp does not have geographical boundaries for membership. You are encouraged to choose any Camp, whether based on your historical interests, the activities of the Camp, or the convenience of the meeting place and time.
