National Society of the Children of the American Revolution
The National Society Children of the American Revolution (NSCAR) is a patriotic youth organization founded on April 5, 1895, by Harriett M. Lothrop, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and noted author[1][4][5]. Established during the Fourth Continental Congress of the DAR, it is the oldest and largest youth organization of its kind in the United States[1][2][3].
Founding and Mission
Lothrop conceived the organization to instill patriotic values, historical knowledge, and civic responsibility in young Americans[4][5]. In her 1895 speech to DAR members, she emphasized that the nation’s future depended on educating youth, stating, “The hope of this country is with her youth”[4]. NSCAR was chartered by Congress and operates under the guidance of three parent organizations: the DAR, Sons of the American Revolution, and Sons of the Revolution[1].
Membership and Structure
Membership is open to individuals under age 22 who are direct descendants of patriots who served in the Continental Army or provided material aid during the American Revolution[1][3][5]. The organization is led by a National President, 13 National Officers, and regional vice presidents, with adult advisors originally drawn from DAR membership[1][5]. Notable past members include Janet Reno, Elizabeth Dole, and Julia Roberts[5].
Activities and Legacy
NSCAR promotes historical education through workshops, commemorative events, and community service[1][5]. Its headquarters, located within DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., houses a museum, archives, and a library dedicated to American history[1]. The organization’s enduring focus on patriotism and lineage-based membership has made it a unique institution in American civic life[2][3].
