Grand Encampment of Virginia

I am a Patriarch!

I believe in the Fatherhood of "God" and the Brotherhood of man;

I believe that the watchwords of our Order, Friendship, Love, and Truth, are stronger when supported by Faith, Hope, and Charity;

I believe that working within my home, my religion, my society and my Encampment to promote the teachings of our Order is my main objective;

As I work with others in every endeavor, I must always remember and practice the Golden Rule. Knowing the perils of the Rough Road, it is my duty to encourage trust, toleration, assurance, and assistance whenever possible.
