These awards encourage civic responsibility and duty, creative and effective teaching practices for the classroom, and a deeper understanding of the complicated issues surrounding the war for American independence. Many of these youth programs begin at the local SAR chapter level and move along toward the society and national level during the scope of each annual competition, wrapping up at the annual SAR Congress.
