Curia was held in January at the Market Day at Birka, and the following changes were made to East Kingdom Law and Policy.

  • Kingdom officers are no longer required to exclusively maintain hardcopy reference versions of records for their office. The reference versions may be hardcopy or they can maintain archival electronic copies.
  • The Kingdom Chancellor Minor’s duties were amended to remove the supervision of the Chancellor of the Academy of Pages.

Society-Wide Family Program Seeks Experts

February 19, 2014 by East Kingdom Gazette

badge Chancellor MinorGreetings to the artists, scientists, and sundry populace of the East Kingdom,

Society is in the process of rolling out a new Youth And Family Achievement program designed to expose youths between the ages of 5-17 to many of the varied activities that we do in the SCA. The program is a cross between a modern scouting badge program and a medieval apprenticeship. Families choose a topic, are given a list of mentors who teach that topic, then the child meets with the mentor at official SCA practices and events to complete the tasks laid out in the program. If you would like more information about the program, you can read the FAQ: http://sca.org/YAFA-FAQ.pdf

I am currently looking for people willing to be mentors in the following categories:

Archery, Arms & Armour, Equestrian, Family Life, Music, Pottery, Woodworking
