SCA has no official relationship with the BSA that I've ever heard of. I'm sure there's been demonstrations and the like, but theyr'e two independent organizations.

I'm surprised the TFP isn't into it more, I thought I'd get a lot of replies either saying "cool" or "ya, I'm in it".
You do not do fencing. Fencing is a sport with very specific rules and equipment. You may do fencing-like competitions, but you do not do fencing. No offense, but SCA folks calling what they do fencing kind of pisses off real fencers, especially the folks that go to the Olympics and whatnot. Hopefully you'll take that as friendly advice, which is how I mean it.

And if you give your thread more than 24 hours to percolate, you might see more responses. I know of at least 3 members off the top of my head that are into SCA or SCA-like groups.
