Umm, I was an Eagle Scout and in the OA. I think you had one of those "funny" scoutmasters.
I'm sorry, but I can't think of the SCA in any context that does not involve a woman that I went to school with that wanted to be a tree and would stand for hours out in the grass, swaying back and forth. She was huge into SCA and used to hang SCA posters around campus in inappropriate places - like in urinals. Then again, she was the one who locked herself out of her room when her boyfriend was tied to a bed and had to get Buildings & Grounds to let her in.
However, before my opinion of SCA was sullied by that individual, it was fun to watch them beat the hell out of each other in the park when I was in high school. There was even a guy who worked full-time as a blacksmith that would make armor on the side and sell it. When you're 12, there's not much cooler than armor for sale, especially if you're scrawny and kind of geeky.
