GOD, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR ORDER
Welcome Friends! For over 165 years, the Patriotic Order Sons of America has been dedicated to preserving Patriotism in the United States of America. Patriotism means a devoted Love for one's country. It means LOYALTY and RESPECT for all the things that make America great. Each citizen should uphold Our Flag, Our Constitution, Our Goverment and Our Way of Life.
The Patriotic Order Sons of America was organized on December 10, 1847 by Dr. Reynell Coates of Philadelphia, PA to preserve the Public School System, The Constitution of the United States, and our American way of life.
It was incorporated by an Act of the Pennsylvania State Legislature on February 27, 1867.
Washington Camp #523 of Eagleville Pennsylvania was chartered on September 19,1901.
Washington Camp #523 had the honor of having two of its Brothers serve as PA State President in the history of this great Order:
H.Taylor Pugh 1957-1958 - Stanley R. Sarnocinski, Jr. 2010-2011
Mr. Sarnocinski is the Inspector of the National Camp for 2011-2013
Washington Camp #523 has approximately 40 members and has been involved in helping to preserve Washington Headquarters in Valley Forge Park, PA; saving the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia, PA; presenting hundreds of United States flags to schools and churches throughout the Delaware Valley.
Each year on Veterans Day, Washington Camp # 523 sponsors the William Hummer Veterans Day Essays at the Arcola Intermediate School in Eagleville, PA. This year 2012 we just completed our 30th year sponsoring the essays.
The William Hummer Patriotism and American History Scholarships are given each year to students at Methacton and Norristown High Schools.
