Cotton Mission Chapter Receives National Recognition — Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers

Welcome!

We have been "Honoring our Pioneer Forefathers in St. George and Washington City since 1933" — yes, for 92 years, with our chapter organized in its current form since 1989! We are one of 46 local chapter organizations and have been recognized annually with the "Chapter in Excellence" award.

Membership is open to sons (descendants) of Utah pioneers or to those men (and their wives) who just have an interest in promoting and honoring local pioneer heritage. We are actively engaged in Washington City Cotton Days, St. George City Dixie Days and local historical treks. We share pioneer histories and award approximately $15,000 dollars annually to local high school seniors and 2nd grade students.

You can also follow our Facebook page at Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers. We would love to have you join us!

Brad Allen,
2025 Chapter President

Recently our chapter was awarded the “Chapter Excellence” award for meeting and exceeding a set of standards and requirements established by the national office. As you might guess this is not the first time we have won the award. President Ralph Atkin and Bunk Robinson hold the award in the photo.
