Arts and Sciences
There is much more to the SCA then fighting and war. The Arts and
Sciences play a major role in our society and are central to many events.
Arts and Sciences are practiced through guilds, classes, and student/
apprentice relationships with peers. The Barony of Caer Galen has a
number of active guilds, which are a great place to learn a new craft or
improve your skills at an old one. Many events include A&S
displays or competitions. Most of the large wars include war points for
Arts and Sciences. Whether your interests lay in simply creating things
of beauty or use, researching period arts and sciences, or competing
against others to show off your skills, A&S in the SCA has a place
for you! If you have any questions about Arts and Sciences in the SCA,
please contact our
Minister of Arts and Sciences.
In addition to actual competition awards, members of the SCA in the
Outlands can receive various awards from The Crown that recognize
achievement in Arts and Sciences. These awards are not stepping stones.
An individual will not necessarily receive them all over his/her career,
nor do they need to be awarded in any particular order. Each Barony also
has awards for A&S. If a member of the Barony of Caer Galen is also
active in another Barony, he/she may receive awards from them as well.
More information about all Outlands awards can be found on the
