In the absence of Commander Waldo, 1st Lt Harold Grooms led the camp meeting for May 2026 for the Dragoons at the Millbrook Masonic Lodge. This was a temporary meeting spot and so the camp meeting was lightly attended. Nonetheless, those who made it enjoyed compatriot Rob Schwartz playing his guitar and he was even joined by Harold and 2nd Lt Karl Wade in singing two songs. After the Invocation and pledges and salutes to the flags, Lt Grooms recited the SCV Charge. Harold then presented the upcoming events including the state and national SCV Reunions. The guest speaker for the night was Dragoons Comms Officer Eric Davis who spoke on the Brazilian Confederados who fled the country after the fall of the Confederacy to escape Reconstruction and settled in Brazil. Eric found he had an ancestor who was a Confederado sothe topic was of special interest for him. After the presentation, everyone discussed moving the camp meetings to the Smokehouse BBQ for June and going forward if it works well; Grooms and Wade had supper there before the camp meeting and reported the excellent food and that the proprietors were excited to host our the Dragoons there.
