SCA Officers and Administration
Each Kingdom, Principality, Barony, and
Shire within the SCA is run by a group of administrative officers which are
appointed. Within the scope of his/her office in his/her group, each Officer has
practically unlimited authority and is answerable only to his/her superiors. A
Deputy of an office is an apprentice who works with an Officer to learn the
duties, functions, and responsibilities of that position. A Deputy may or may
not become the successor to the Office when the existing Officer steps down.
Kingdom officers are known as Officers of
State and often have more deputies than local officers do. A listing of the
Officers for a group is often referred to as a Regnum. Check with your local
Seneschal to find out more about the Officers in your local group. Following is
a brief listing of possible Offices within a group's infrastructure (some of
which may only apply to larger groups such as Principalities and/or Kingdoms).
