The Kingdom of Ealdormere Scout’s Handbook Section I | Section II | Section III | Section IV | Section V | Appendices   SECTION 4 The Authorization Process Level 1 | Level 2 B ecoming authorized as a scout involves hands-on training and observation coupled with familiarization with the necessary rules and procedures. How long does it take to authorize? This depends on each person, his background and maturity. A person who has been a fighter may find it much easier to authorize as a scout because he has been exposed to SCA fighting already. The primary thing an authorizing marshal is looking for is whether or not this person acts SAFELY around melee fighting. A separate authorization and endorsement on the scouts' authorization card are necessary before any scout may be in a combat archery environment. top Level 1 Who May Authorize A Scout? Any warranted fighting (heavy weapons) marshal who has a Scouting authorization, or a person who has been warranted by the Kingdom Marshal of Scouting as a Scouting Marshal. top What Are The Level 1 Authorization Requirements?
