The 5th Brigade Color Guard is the Official Color Guard of the Rev. Beverly Tucker Lacy Camp and is comprised of SCV members from area camps who would like to participate in a semi-professional color guard in period attire. Click here to read about the Color Guard Prayer that is read by Color Sgt. Joe Wright just prior to each event.

SCV members who wish to march with the 5th Brigade Color Guard must be dressed in a WBTS Confederate Uniform and must inform Color Sgt. Joe Wright at least 48 hours in advance of their desire to participate in an event in order to ensure that the proper equipment and number of flags are provided. (Check the camp events page for upcoming events). Since most organizations need to know months in advance whether we have enough members to commit to an event, we ask that you let us know as soon as you are relatively sure that you can attend so we can determine if at least 4 members will be present and we can commit to the event.

5th Brigade Confederate Color Guard Protocol

The Reverend Beverly Tucker Lacy Camp Color Guard is a Confederate Semi-Formal Unit with its primary objective of honoring the Confederate Veteran and recognition of the Southern woman and their sacrifice and dedication to the Confederate States of America.

Our Color Guard marches in parades to instill pride in the display of the Confederate Flag(s).

We participate in the dedication and rededication of Confederate monuments and markers as well as grave stones and Crosses of Honor to those Confederate soldiers and sailors, our ancestors.

Our policy is to stand at attention for the various pledges and salutes and to present arms to the National anthems and patriotic songs as well as the presentation of wreaths.

Where appropriate and desired we will pre-post, not carry, a 15 star – 15 stripe Fort McHenry Flag. This flag is recognized by many as the last U. S. Flag representing the compact of sovereign states.
