SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)

The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a historical reenactment and educational organization dedicated to exploring and recreating the culture, arts, and crafts of pre-17th-century Europe. Members, known as "participants," dress in authentic or inspired period costumes and engage in activities such as medieval combat, music, dance, cooking, and craftsmanship. The SCA aims to promote understanding of history through hands-on experience, fostering community and learning in a fun, immersive environment. It functions as a global society with local groups, events, and tournaments that celebrate medieval heritage in an interactive, educational setting.
