For Newcomers

Are you new to the Society for Creative Anachronism?

First of all: Welcome! The SCA is a great place to make wonderful friendships, learn unique new skills, share knowledge and have a lot of fun doing so. It can also be very confusing for a newbie: What do all those terms mean? How should I address people? What should I wear? Where can I find out information on how to make this great garb/armour/artwork that I have in mind? Fear not gentle friend, we have your back.

The Kingdom of Lochac has a Hospitaller page for helping newcomers to the Society. It is well worth a read.
