Officer

Officers are the people that keep SCA groups going (from an administration point of view anyway) according to the laws of the Society. Officers are the primary link between groups in the SCA and mundane authorities.

A shire must have the following three officers:

• Seneschal
• Reeve / Exchequer / Treasurer
• Herald or Arts and Sciences Officer or Knight Marshal

A Barony in most kingdoms must have all of the following officers:

• Seneschal
• Reeve / Exchequer / Treasurer
• Herald
• Arts and Sciences Officer
• Knight Marshal

Depending on the kingdom a Barony may also be required to have one or more of the following officers:

• Constable
• Chirurgeon
• Chronicler
• Hospitaller

Any group may have some or all of the following additional officers:

• Rapier Marshal
• List Keeper
• Water Bearer
• Archery Marshal or Captain of Archers
• Equestian Marshal

... or any others of its choosing.

The SCA and the SCAA also each have a Board of Directors and the associated offices, but because they are regarded as the outside-of-game administration, they are not connected to any group.
