Unofficial Scout History

Early versions of the Scouts included troopers such as Brent, Eric, Mike, Russ, David, and others and went under the unofficial names of the "Veterans" (sometimes pronounced "Better-uns").  The term was applied to experienced reeanctors with semi-sane horses, carbines, and a willingness to take hits on the battlefield.  A subset of this group was the "Cobra Brothers." The Cobras became a pseudo fraternal organization which really cannot be discussed in public lest we risk being placed on Double Secret Probation ... use your imagination!
