How to Find Your Hobbies & Your SCA Locals

1. FIRST, find out which Kingdom you live in, which you can do at https://sca.org/kingdom_lookup.html.

2. NEXT, go to your kingdom's website to find out which barony or shire (or other division of land in the kingdom) you live in or near. Think of these groups like states or provinces within a country. You may participate in activities in any groups you wish to travel to.

3. THEN reach out to your Chatelaine/Hospitaller/Castellan. This is the person who is considered the Newcomer Officer of your area. They can help direct you to local groups &/or people who do the things you’d like to do!
