Potential New Peerage Exploratory Committee

Based on input from the Census results, as well as an examination of the breadth and depth of participation 
across the Known World and the unique subculture, ethos, and goals it has developed within the Society, the 
Board of Directors intends to explore the possibility of creating a new peerage to recognize as peers those 
participants who meet the general requirements for a patent of arms and who demonstrate prowess in Rapier / 
Cut and Thrust Combat.As this would potentially be the first additional peerage for the SCA in many decades, 
input and feedback from the Known World throughout the exploratory process is essential.

The SCA’s Board of Directors is seeking individuals interested in participating in an Exploratory Committee 
focused on developing a set of options for potential implementation of a new peerage for Rapier Combat and/or 
Cut and Thrust Combat.This committee would be responsible for developing sets of recommendations for heraldry, 
regalia, corpora changes and identifying and addressing associated issues around creating and implementing 
such a peerage, and would consist of representatives of the following categories:

·One recognized Rapier Fencer or Rapier Fencing Official

·One recognized C&T Fencer or C&T Fencing Official

·One Fencing Laurel (recognized for Fence)

·One Fencing Pelican (recognized for Fence)

·One Fencing Knight/Master at Arms

·Two Heralds

·One Non-Fencing Pelican

·One Non-Fencing Laurel

·One Non-Fencing Knight/Master at Arms

·One Lady of the Rose

·One expert in Corpora (e.g., Seneschal)

·One SCA Archivist or Historian

Please submit Letters of Intent by July 1^st , 2012 and identify to which of the above categories you are 
specifically applying. Those individuals who have expressed interest already via the Comments email address or 
the Directors email address will be considered.

Hard copies of resumes (both professional and SCA related, including officesheld and honors) must be sent to 
the attention of The Board ofDirectors, SCA, Inc., P.O. Box 360789, Milpitas, CA 95036-0789.Electronic 
courtesy copies should also be sent to peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org 
<mailto:peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org> and resumes at sca.org.

The exploration into a new stand-alone Peerage for Rapier / Cut and Thrust is driven not only by what the 
Board of Directors perceives to be a very high level of support across the organization, but also because it 
expresses a defined and specific culture that is unique and separate from chivalric armoured combat, other 
martial arts, and the unique and separate cultures of the Arts and Sciences and Service communities.

The results of this Exploratory Committee, along with comments from the populace about those results, will 
then be reviewed by a much larger and more representative Review Committee.The Review Committee will be 
established later by the Board of Directors and will be comprised of representatives selected by the relevant 
groups and organizations within and across the Society (e.g., the Kingdoms, Peerages, Heralds, Seneschals, 
Grand Council, Rapier Fencing Community, and C&T Fencing Community) as a final input into the process.The 
Board will be working with those organizations to request their nominees following the formation of the 
Exploratory Committee.The Board welcomes all commentary throughout this exploratory process from the populace 
at large.Please send commentary to Comments at sca.org <mailto:Comments at sca.org> and include Potential New 
Peerage in the subject line.
