Klan run Scout camp teaches guerrilla tactics in Texas

Houston Chronicle reports a Ku Klux Klan member at Camp Puller near Houston instructed Explorer Scouts and CAP cadets in survival and guerrilla warfare. Teens learned to use live ammo, with leaders denying official Boy Scout ties while parents complained of racial slurs and unsafe training.

Violent KKK faction bears watching says DOJ study

The Justice Department calls Wilkinson's Invisible Empire the most violent Klan faction, with a commando camp near Cullman Alabama. Followers wear fatigues, bear arms and claim they prepare for a race war. Other groups like United Klans of America and Duke's NAWP are deemed less violent. The six month review, prepared for the new administration, notes no massive Klan resurgence and cites media influence for visibility.
