FAQ's and Equipment List Boy scout Venture Crew # 30 History of the 30thNCT Original Co K Rosters	In 1985, a group of experienced Civil War re-enactors formed the Living History Association of North Carolina Inc. L.H.A.N.C. non-profit) and reactivated the 30th North Carolina Troops, Company K. This particular Confederate infantry company was chosen because of its service in General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and its historical connection with Charlotte and the lower piedmont region of North Carolina. As with many organizations that begin with experienced leadership and sound principles, the 30 the N.C. Troops grew steadily. Soon, a civilian organization was created in order to encourage participation by non-military family members. The civilian group is the Colonel Francis Marion Parker Civilian Alliance and is named for the colonel who commanded the regiment for most of the war. These two organizations were joined in 2002 by Venture Crew #30 through a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, Mecklenburg County Council. The Venture Crew is for boys and girls ages 14 to 18 years and was created to foster in them an appreciation for American history and the Civil War era. We have found that reenacting benefits teenagers; teaching them valuable lessons in history, team-work, volunteerism and patriotism.

	Our organization recognized the need occasionally portray a Union army military unit in order to more accurately create military scenarios at some events. Thus, the L.H.A.N.C. reactivated, through a partnership with a Civil War reenactment group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the 9th Regiment Pennsylvania Reserves, Company H. While our members are encouraged to participate in both our Confederate and Federal companies in order to provide for a more cohesive unit and esprit de corps, participation in the Federal company is optional.
