[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Proposed Change to Corpora - Youth Combat

[Leslie Luther-Fulton]

The Board of Directors is currently accepting commentary on the following 
proposed revision to Copora IX.A.5 (Youth Combat)

Corpora IX.A.5 currently reads in part:

“No person who has not attained his or her sixteenth (16th) birthday may be 
authorized in armored combat or the marshaling of armored combat. No person 
who has not attained his or her fourteenth (14th) birthday may be authorized 
for any form of Society combat-related activity.”

This section was written prior to the existence of Youth Combat programs in 
the SCA, and the exisiting working appears to ban youth combat.  This is not 
the Board’s intent, so the following change is proposed:

“In order to be authorized as a combatant or marshal in adult armored 
combat, an individual must have attained his or her sixteenth (16th) 
birthday. In order to be authorized as a participant, combatant, or marshal 
in any other form of Society combat-related activity, except Youth Combat, 
an individual must have attained his or her fourteenth (14th) birthday.”

Adding the word “Adult” removes the potential confusion with youth combat 
activities.

Interested parties should provide their commentary to the Directors by no 
later than October 1, 2005.  Comments may be sent to comments at sca.org or 
directors at sca.org.


Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: 
SCA Inc.
Box 360789
Milpitas,  CA 95036
