Philosophy: No system or organization is sound unless one of it's principles is the employment of the ' leader ' to use his/her own initiative and ingenuity to accomplish the organization's goals.
Greetings, congratulations on finding this site on the ever expanding Wide World of the Web. The first thing you need to know and understand about the Scottish American Military Society is that it is a veterans society and not a militia!
SAMS is looking for veterans, current Service Members and contract Sr. ROTC and Military Academy Cadets to grow with us. I am also looking for members and potential members who will be engaged enough to participate in our activities and functions in order to not only increase our numbers in the Region, but also enhance what our Post can accomplish by expanding what the Post is capable of achieving.
If you qualify for membership, you will be welcomed to join and participate. This site, the various Post sites, and the SAMS National site <www.S-A-M-S.org> contain a wealth of information which may answer most of your questions. Please feel free to contact any of the National, local Post officers, myself <cptvill866@gmail.com> , or Point-of-Contact (POC) of a forming Post, for any questions you may have.
Although every Post and Camp is a part of the whole, each Post within the Society has its own 'flavor' which makes it unique and therefore 'special'.
Furthermore, my personal goal as Regional Commander is to increase the number of posts within the Region of Texas and Oklahoma. My wish is that each and every one of these posts has the enthusiastic and engaging membership to ensure the success of that post. If you live in an area outside of any of these post areas or you want to join SAMS, but not a post you would fall into the status of a Member-At-Large (MAL). And you would be welcome to do so.
By the way, SAMS is a rankless society. We are all equals here. The Post officers are elected by the Post Membership.
Yours Aye,
Bill Stevens
Commander, Post 1845
Commander, Region-12 (Texas & Oklahoma)
