SCFRW Celebrates 65 Years!

The tireless efforts of Mrs. Connie Armitage and Mrs. Pat Barnes in 1960 and 1961 laid the foundation for the vibrant and productive SCFRW of today. The SCFRW is comprised of about 1300 members statewide with 26 active local units. The dedicated efforts of the hundreds of women who came before have contributed to the energetic and enthusiastic membership of 2026.

​

The purpose of the organization, as set forth in the bylaws drawn up in 1961, have remained virtually unchanged.

Legislative Activities

SCFRW is actively involved in reviewing legislation to ensure that it protects Faith, Family & Freedom. Then, we contact our legislators via email, text, phone calls, and visits to make our voices heard in the cause of good  government. This includes attending and testifying at committee hearings.  

​​​

On SCFRW Legislative Day, members come from all over the state to spend the day at the Statehouse to visit with their senators and representatives. Programs for the day include hearing from the Governor and other statewide elected officials.

​

Legislative goals for 2026 include protecting women and girls' privacy in intimate spaces, parental rights, closed primaries, NO casinos, medical freedom, protecting human life from conception to natural death, and judicial reform.

SCFRW is hosting a Liberty Ball on May 16, 2026 to celebrate South Carolina's part in the Revolution that birthed a nation. Save the Date!

​

South Carolina played a pivotal role in America’s fight for independence, serving as a crucial battleground and a center of revolutionary leadership. The state witnessed more than 200 battles and skirmishes—more than any other colony—including the decisive Patriot victory at the Battle of Cowpens and the hard-fought defense of Charleston. South Carolinians such as Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox,” helped pioneer guerrilla warfare tactics that weakened British control across the South. Through sacrifice, resilience, and strategic importance, South Carolina helped turn the tide of the Revolution and secure the freedoms that would define the new nation.
