			Within the SCA, various associations and authorisations may be thought of as having members.

			=== Membership of guilds and households ===

		⚫	Within the SCA, you may also become a member of a [[guild]] or a [[household]]. These subgroups may have their membership requirements and procedures listed in a document like a [[charter]], which may have been recognised by the [[Crown]]. However, for some subgroups, their definitions of membership may be as loose as showing interest or being friends with other members. The SCA normally has no control over who can be associated with these subgroups due to their unofficial status (note the above mentioned royal sanction as an exception).

			=== Combat participation ===

	Participation in combat competitions requires [[authorisation]], which means that you are on a list of approved combatants for certain [[SCA]]-approved [[weapon]]s.
