I live with not one but three Eagle scouts, and like Jazz, they were in OA as well. The closest thing I've ever heard to SCA related to Boy Scouts was that one of my roommates used to work in the black powder area at camp, and had to wear an authentic "mountain man" outfit to do so. He made all of it himself, including his various knives. I know that at camp one of the counselors got fired for encouraging campers to engage in mock swordfights--there's just too much liability there.
As to the OP, we have a chapter of the SCA at my university. They do displays at various events.
