Your Principality Needs You!
The SCA is a volunteer-run organization, and there are plenty of opportunities to support the Principality of the Mists and use your valuable skills and talents (not to mention gain tons of gratitude and glory!) as an Officer of the Principality. The following Officers are currently seeking assistance:
- We are in need of event stewards! If you are interested in stewarding an upcoming event, or if you are interested in learning how to event steward, please contact the Seneschal.
- The Principality Exchequer manages financial activities for the principality, and is seeking a deputy to train as a successor.
- The Principality Arts & Sciences Minister organizes Arts and Sciences activities, displays, and competitions, and is seeking a deputy to train as a successor.
- The Seawolf Herald is the local branch herald in charge of organizing heraldic activities, and is seeking a deputy to train as a successor.
- The Principality Constable is always in need of trusty folk to help “sit gate” (help at the check-in area) at events. It’s easy, fun and a great way to meet new people and truly serve your Principality. Contact the Constable for more information.
There are many other, less committal ways to help. Most people will gratefully accept an offer to simply help them carry stuff. At tournaments, the Lists Officer accepts volunteers of all ages to act as Pages to carry cards to the Field Heralds. Staying after events to clean up afterwards helps your hard-working Event Stewards stay sane. If you are new to the SCA, it is truly a wonderful way to meet people and get yourself known to others.
From the Arts & Sciences Minister
Greetings to the Populace of the Principality of the Mists From the Mists Ministers of Arts & Sciences: We are excited about this years arts and sciences competition theme “Trade Goods”. Please read on here for details about A&S activities for 2024. We are also very excited that their Highnesses are supporting the Silver Muse.Fighter & Archery Practices
Information about current active martial practices can be found on the pages for fighter practices and archery practices. These practices often have loaner gear available and are a great way to get an introduction to martial activities in the SCA or to meet SCAdians in your area.
If something is listed incorrectly, if a practice is no longer active or needs to be added to one of these pages, please contact the webminister.
On-Line Award Recommendation Letter
Think someone deserves an award? Not sure how to write a letter of recommendation? The Kingdom Heralds have an on-line form that sends your recommendation to the current Prince and Princess of the Mists (or other sitting Royalty). The form guides you through the necessary information their Highnesses will need. Check it out: Award Recommendation Letter.
