REMINDER:

The Office of the Ministry of Children (Youth), exists to provide safe, fun, and educational activities during scheduled and structured sessions at events, meetings, and/or other SCA functions. Children’s Officers are not daycare workers, but instead are coordinators or teachers who offer age-appropriate means for learning and involvement within the scope of the SCA.

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CHILDREN AT SCA EVENTS

• All persons under the age of eighteen (18) attending Society events must do so in the company of their parents, legal guardians or parental representatives. Parental representatives must be in possession of a notarized waiver to be left with reservation during check-in on site. The SCA Minor's Waiver and Medical & Travel Consent Form can be found on the Kingdom Website - HERE.

• The parent or legal guardian of any minor attending a society event must complete such paperwork as the Kingdom Seneschal deems necessary. Such paperwork must be notarized

• Any minor, 11 years of age or younger, must have on his or her person at all times while attending any Society event both his or her legal name and both the legal and SCA names of the parent or other responsible adult at the event.

• Children four (4) and under should not be left unsupervised by the parent/legal guardian at SCA functions, even at planned children’s activities.

• With exception for impairment, a “Sight and Sound” rule is in effect at all SCA functions. Generally, this states that children ages 11 and under should be in eyesight/earshot of the parent or a designated adult of teenager (as determined by the parent).

  • • As a guideline, it is suggested that children in this age range are in the care of an adult besides the parent/guardian (designated babysitter, attending activities, etc.), the children should be checked on periodically by the parent/guardian to ensure their safety and suitable behavior.

    • Common sense in effect regarding the “sight and sound” rule. Children need not be in direct sight while engaged in certain activities (ie: in restroom stalls or sleeping in a tent with only one egress.)

• Children under the age of fifteen are not considered suitable babysitters for younger children.

• Curfew, unless otherwise dictated by site guidelines, for children 12 and under is 10pm and for those 13 – 17, it is 1am.

  • • During the curfew hours, children should be in their camp with a supervising, responsible adult or caregiver.
