SCA Membership
You are not
required to buy a membership before you start attending practices, meetings,
and events, however, members do receive discounts on event entry fees. Paid
membership is a requirement for holding an SCA office, and in some kingdoms you
must have a membership in order to take part in combat activities and to be
eligible to receive awards.
Paid Members get these Benefits!
- Discounts on event admission fees
- Membership card – check in at events quickly by presenting your card
- Voting privileges in your local group – polls on local group matters are sent to those on the membership list
- SCA Publications – while the kingdom newsletters and Board Minutes can be accessed publically, paid members have the option to subscribe to paper versions, as well as subscribing to Tournaments Illuminated (the quarterly magazine of the Society), and the Compleat Anachronist booklet series.
Additionally,
your fees help support the SCA infrastructure, including worldwide liability
coverage for our chapters, and the ability to maintain consistent rules and
standards throughout the Society.

General Membership FAQs:
How do I add
Family members on-line?
Family Memberships can be purchased by an existing Sustaining or International Member. Family Members include one additional adult and any children (21 and under) living at the same address as the Sustaining / International member. The cost is $10 per person, with a cap of $30.
Log on to the Member Portal and click on the menu item “Manage Your Membership.” From that page, click on “Add a Sub-member.”
How can I update my contact information or personal information?
Each individual member can log on to the Membership Portal, click the “Dashboard” menu item, then click on “Edit Profile” below your name. (On smaller screens, click the pencil symbol next to your name to access your profile.) You can edit your mailing address, phone number, email address, and SCA name. (Please note that while the SCA name you enter will be printed on your membership card, actual registration of SCA names is done through the SCA College of Heralds.)
How do I add
Publications subscriptions to my membership?
You may purchase subscriptions to paper copies of any kingdom newsletters, the Board Proceedings (Minutes), Compleat Anachronist, or Tournaments Illuminated.
Log on to the Member Portal (this answer will be updated with the new portal instructions shortly.) Subscription costs will be prorated for the remaining length of your membership.
