Scabbard & blade basics

SOME HISTORY

During the school year of 1904-1905, five senior officers in the cadet corps at the University of Wisconsin founded the National Society of Scabbard and Blade. The five founders of Scabbard and Blade were Leo M. Cook, Albert W. Foster, Victor R. Griggs, Charles A. Taylor, and Harold K. Weld. The founders had a specific goal in mind; develop a lasting society that develops the essential qualities of “good and efficient” officers.

  

Purposes. This preamble shaped the direction of the society for over 100 years and will continue to do so for its existence. From this preamble, five Purposes were derived:

(1) Promote scholarship within our military departments and throughout our Society;

(2) Raise the standard of military education in American colleges and universities;

(3) Unite in closer relationship their military departments;

(4) Encourage and foster the essential qualities of good and efficient officers;

(5) Promote an understanding of joint and multinational operations through strategic thought;

Each Purpose has produced unique thoughts and programs that have shaped some of the most successful leaders of the past century. Specifically the Purpose, “Encourage and foster the essential qualities of good and efficient officers,” led the Scabbard and Blade founders to develop five essential qualities found in great officers. The original five qualities are, Efficiency, Loyalty, Obedience, Courage, and Good-fellowship. These qualities have defined our members for over 100 years!

Thoughts About Leadership

The fast-moving changes in the military, academic, and technological environment has increased the demand on our nations officers and have raised the standard of professionalism our officers need to achieve in order to be effective. Scabbard and Blade is committed to supporting the military and our members during this transition and thus have transformed our strategy to become more effective for today's officer.

   

Mission: Build and empower the next generation of military leaders.

Vision: To become a preeminent military leadership development organization – focused on the Five Stars.


Goal. Our goal is to help our members achieve their greatest potential through a mixture of dynamic education and development programs. Our programs are aimed at disseminating best practices within civilian and military professions to support our members’ success and encourage new thought.
