    How Do You Authorize A Scout For A Combat Archery Environment?

    First, go over the rules for scouts in a combat archery environment and ensure that they know them. Also check that they have read all the combat archery rules at least once and answer any questions they may have.

    Next, the person authorizing MUST observe the scout in a melee situation in which there is combat archery. They may be beside the scout, close by, or off the field but in a position to observe unobstructed. The major thing to look for is whether the person acts and behaves in a safe manner.

    Watch them glean arrows, note how aware they are of their surroundings and see whether they pay attention to the fighters and the battle. Check off the block marked combat archery environment on the current Ealdormere Scout Authorization form. Fill out the rest of the form where applicable and send the signed form to the Minister of the Lists for his records.
