B. Non-Contact Authorizations

1. Each kingdom that allows Non-Contact Participants (Scouts, Non-Contact

Archers, Banner-Bearers, etc.) in SCA Combat-Related Activities, shall

establish a procedure for authorizing non-contact participants in SCA combatrelated

activities. These procedures shall verify that in addition to the General

Requirements the candidate is familiar with the following:

a. All safety requirements applicable to himself/ herself and his/ her

opponent.

b. What conditions are required for him/ her to be considered “dead” (how

he/ she can be “killed”). The candidate shall demonstrate under combat

conditions how to “die” safely.

C. Minor Authorization

Minors (14 to 17) may authorize with these additional requirements:

a. No person below the age of sixteen (16) may be authorized in armored combat

or the marshaling of armored combat. No person below the age of fourteen

(14) may be authorized for any form of SCA combat-related activity.

b. No person below the age of 18 may be warranted as a group Marshal, or the

Marshal in Charge of an event.

c. The parents or guardians of the minor must witness SCA Combat, discuss

with a witnessing marshal how it relates to the participation of their child, and

execute a “Minor’s Waiver and Informed Consent to Participate in SCA

Combat-Related Activities”. The witnessing Marshal must countersign the

waiver.

d. The Earl Marshal, the Principality Marshal, or a designated Deputy must be

the one to authorize the minor for SCA Combat-Related Activities.

e. At any event in which the minor is involved in SCA Combat-Related

Activities the minor must either have a parent or guardian present, or must be

in possession of a properly executed “Medical Authorization Form for

Minors”. Said Medical Authorization Form must designate an adult present at

the event as able to authorize medical treatment in the case of an emergency.

 

January 2005 revision Corpora . Appendix A January 2005 revision

5. 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.

B. Applications of the Rules of the List

Ref Rule 1: “Other participants” include Marshals, and also support personnel

whose activities bring them close to fighting in a situation where boundaries

are not clearly defined. Heralds, List Pages, and similar officers who leave the

field entirely before combat begins are exempt from this requirement, as are

Water-Bearers and Chirurgeons who remain in fixed support points outside

the tournament field or battle area. Water-Bearers and Chirurgeons who take

part in mobile support groups within the overall boundaries of a battle area

must receive a basic orientation in field safety, and sign a proper Waiver.

Children should not be left unattended at events. Children under the age of 12 must be within the sight or voice range of a designated responsible adult or teenager at all times. Failure to do so may result in sanctions ranging from expulsion from site to notification of mundane authorities, depending on the circumstances

 

This everything I could find on the age ? The last paragraph came from a section about events. And it will be in our Kingdom WB Handbook that is being worked on by our KWB and I think it is in our WB Charter but I do not have copy of that handy and maybe wrong. But it will be in our new one.




In Service always, to the 
Chirurgeonate, Kingdom, & the Dream,
