What is the SCA?

The SCA was incorporated in 1968 as a 501(c)3, not-for-profit educational organization. It is part of the “living history” movement, which means that SCA members have a “hands-on” approach to history, engaging in activities that help them to explore the culture, arts, and sciences of ages past. The SCA period encompasses the pre-17th century world, with an emphasis on the Middle Ages and Renaissance.

The most visible focus of many SCA events is our martial activities. Many SCA members recreate the armored chivalric combat of the High Middle Ages, wearing replica metal or leather armor, carrying shields, and using rattan weapons that have the balance and handling properties but not the lethal effect of the originals. There are also those who strive to recreate Renaissance fencing techniques using various styles of rapiers and fencing equipment.

Less immediately obvious to new members are all the other period activities people do in the SCA. The range of arts and sciences, everyday skills, and technical knowledge are enormous. Period activities range from bardic performances (poems, songs, music, or stories) to arts and sciences (cooking, glasswork, armor making, dancing, needlework, herbalism, calligraphy, brewing, and vintning, among many others). In addition, there are a variety of technical and social skills that help establish the ambiance of life in a pre-17th century royal court, including dance and heraldry.
