About The Chapter
The Chapter was chartered in 1985 with Carl T. Chilcott as the first Chapter President. The Chapter covers members of the Southern Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains from north of Colorado Springs to south of Pueblo.  We have a very active Color Guard dressed in Revolutionary War uniforms carrying period firearms and accouterments.  They march in several parades each year, including the Colorado Springs Veterans Day Parade. Annually the Pikes Peak Chapter presents to a local Fire Department and Police Department, SAR Medals of Commendation for their outstanding service.  We also present to people and organizations Flag Display Certificates and Certificates of Appreciation for patriotic service to their local communities. One of our most successful  patriotic programs we support is the  “Bring George Washington back to school”. The Mount Vernon Ladies Auxillary provides to schools for free a framed 30 x 36 reproduction of Rembrandt Peale’s "Porthole Portrait of George Washington."
