Throughout, we have looked to move to simpler English, more suitable for children as they are one of the primary audiences for these rules. As part of this, we have shifted to referring to "you" as the person who needs to follow the rule.
We have removed gendered language and use the singular they/their/themself instead of he or she, his or her, himself or herself.
Overview
Mission and Goals
Our version of this section is virtually identical, but refers to youth armoured combat only. Youth rapier combat is dealt with in another handbook. As at November 2024, the Youth Rapier Handbook has not been approved by the Board of SCA Ltd or Committee of SCANZ.
General Conventions
Society rules allow kingdoms to establish procedures for youth combatant authorisations and warranting of marshals, and separate youth armoured combat and youth rapier combat into separate disciplines.
Our version includes the authorisations for participants and marshals that we have established.
We have included definitions in this section that are I.A and I.B in Society rules, and added some terms, such as Nominated caregiver that are specific to Lochac.
Parent Section
We've called this section "Information for parents"
I. Definitions
Moved to Overview as the terms aren't specific to things that parents need to know.
II. Participation
We have linked to the relevant policies relating to the participation of minors at SCA events in Lochac. We have some differences in how minors are given permission to participate, and how minors who aren't attending with their parents are managed.
III. Membership
We note that membership is not required for participation, though it is required for marshals.
IV. Parental responsibilities
We have reordered these and reworded them for simplicity.
Participants' section
We've separated this into multiple chapters.
