SCA Mission Statement

The SCA has put out proposed mission and business statements:

Mission statement: The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) is an international organization devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century life, encouraging its participants to employ a knowledge of history to enrich their lives and the lives of others through events, demonstrations, and other educational venues.

Business statement: As a 501.c.3 corporation the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) provides the necessary business structure for the operation of its official branches, for the coordination of centralized policies and practices, and for the dissemination of information to its international constituency of participants.

Value statement: As an organization the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) values the principles of chivalry, honor, personal integrity, and artistry idealized in pre-Seventeenth century culture and society.

I like this version better.

Mission statement: The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) is an international organization devoted to providing a context where participants can recreate different aspects of pre-seventeenth century life.

Business statement: As a 501.c.3 corporation the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA) provides the necessary business structure for the operation of its official branches, for the coordination of centralized policies and practices, and for the dissemination of information to its international constituency of participants.

Value statement: The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) values the opportunity to recreate different aspects of pre-Seventeenth century life by doing. It is more interested in embodying positive ideals like chivalry and honor than the less desirable features of the era.

April 1 is the last day to comment.
