One of the most enriching aspects of the SCA, is the socialization and unique gatherings of people.

Demographically speaking, the SCA is populated by a wide variety of people from all walks of life. They carry numerous interests and expertise in a whole host of differing fields of historical study. Taking all of these diverse aspects into account however, you will find some very common traits among SCAdians that you’re likely to appreciate.

We’re geeks.

Not only that, we let our geek flag fly proudly! This is because it’s an hand-sewn, historically accurate 9th century reproduction silk embroidered flag, hand-painted and colored with natural era-accurate dyes, and hoisted on a hand carved alder pole with 100% correct Norse runic script burned into the handle by the finest artisans in the world. Oh yeah, buddy we’re geeks. We’re geeks with armor, swords, axes, and arrows on horseback.

Being a geek in modern times, typically means you’re just tremendously enthusiastic about something. SCAdians are certainly enthusiastic, and consider sharing our special brand of geek-culture with anyone interested.

We’re artists.

The SCA is host to some of the most talented people you will ever meet. These talents are only matched by their generosity and willingness to teach. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to MAKE THINGS, you are now in the right place.
