Potential New Peerage Exploratory Committee 
 
Based on input from the Census results, as well as an examination of the breadth 
and depth of participation across the Known World and the unique subculture, 
ethos, and goals it has developed within the Society, the Board of Directors 
intends to explore the possibility of creating a new peerage to recognize as 
peers those participants who meet the general requirements for a patent of arms 
and who demonstrate prowess in Rapier / Cut and Thrust Combat. As this would 
potentially be the first additional peerage for the SCA in many decades, input 
and feedback from the Known World throughout the exploratory process is 
essential. 
 
The SCA?s Board of Directors is seeking individuals interested in participating 
in an Exploratory Committee focused on developing a set of options for potential 
implementation of a new peerage for Rapier Combat and/or Cut and Thrust Combat. 
This committee would be responsible for developing sets of recommendations for 
heraldry, regalia, corpora changes and identifying and addressing associated 
issues around creating and implementing such a peerage, and would consist of 
representatives of the following categories: 
? One recognized Rapier Fencer or Rapier Fencing Official 
? One recognized C&T Fencer or C&T Fencing Official 
? One Fencing Laurel (recognized for Fence) 
? One Fencing Pelican (recognized for Fence) 
? One Fencing Knight/Master at Arms 
? Two Heralds 
? One Non-Fencing Pelican 
? One Non-Fencing Laurel 
? One Non-Fencing Knight/Master at Arms 
? One Lady of the Rose 
? One expert in Corpora (e.g., Seneschal) 
? One SCA Archivist or Historian 
 
Please submit Letters of Intent by July 1st, 2012 and identify to which of the 
above categories you are specifically applying. Those individuals who have 
expressed interest already via the Comments email address or the Directors email 
address will be considered. 
Hard copies of resumes (both professional and SCA related, including offices 
held and honors) must be sent to the attention of The Board of Directors, SCA, 
Inc., P.O. Box 360789, Milpitas, CA 95036-0789. Electronic courtesy copies 
should also be sent to [peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org] 
peerageexploratorycommittee at sca.org and resumes at sca.org. 
 
 
The exploration into a new stand-alone Peerage for Rapier / Cut and Thrust is 
driven not only by what the Board of Directors perceives to be a very high level 
of support across the organization, but also because it expresses a defined and 
specific culture that is unique and separate from chivalric armoured combat, 
other martial arts, and the unique and separate cultures of the Arts and 
Sciences and Service communities. 
 
The results of this Exploratory Committee, along with comments from the populace 
about those results, will then be reviewed by a much larger and more 
representative Review Committee. The Review Committee will be established later 
by the Board of Directors and will be comprised of representatives selected by 
the relevant groups and organizations within and across the Society (e.g., the 
Kingdoms, Peerages, Heralds, Seneschals, Grand Council, Rapier Fencing 
Community, and C&T Fencing Community) as a final input into the process. The 
Board will be working with those organizations to request their nominees 
following the formation of the Exploratory Committee. The Board welcomes all 
commentary throughout this exploratory process from the populace at large. 
Please send commentary to [Comments at sca.org] Comments at sca.org and include 
Potential New Peerage in the subject line.
