Subject:  
[Announcements] Proposed Change to Corpora - Youth Combat









The Board of Directors is currently accepting commentary on the following proposed revision to Copora IX.A.5 (Youth Combat)Corpora IX.A.5 currently reads in part:“No person who has not attained his or her sixteenth (16th) birthday may be authorized in armored combat or the marshaling of armored combat. No person who has not attained his or her fourteenth (14th) birthday may be authorized for any form of Society combat-related activity.”This section was written prior to the existence of Youth Combat programs in the SCA, and the exisiting working appears to ban youth combat. This is not the Board’s intent, so the following change is proposed:“In order to be authorized as a combatant or marshal in adult armored combat, an individual must have attained his or her sixteenth (16th) birthday. In order to be authorized as a participant, combatant, or marshal in any other form of Society combat-related activity, except Youth Combat, an individual must have attained his or her 
fourteenth (14th) birthday.”Adding the word “Adult” removes the potential confusion with youth combat activities.Interested parties should provide their commentary to the Directors by no later than October 1, 2005. Comments may be sent to comments at sca.org or directors at sca.org.Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: SCA Inc.Box 360789Milpitas, CA 95036You may also email comments at sca.org or reply to this message.This announcement is an official informational release by the Society for Creative Anachronism , Inc.
