What is the SCA<\/h1>\n

SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. We are a mediveal recreation group, started in the 1970’s.\u00a0 The group has tens of thousands of members worldwide, with a few thousand of those in your Kingdom.\u00a0 The Society is broken up into 23 Kingdoms.\u00a0 We are in the Kingdom of Caid, which is broken up into 15 Baronies and Shires.\u00a0 The group regularly meets, either at a regional level (like practices and local events), or at the Kingdom level for events with hundreds, or even thousands of people.\u00a0 Events are held somewhere in Caid nearly every weekend.\u00a0 Check our calendar<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n
