Members study and enjoy various arts and sciences, such as history, culture, music, dance, mock combat, archery, armoring, heraldry, embroidery, costuming, calligraphy, food & drink, etc.
- We are the Brooklyn area chapter of the S.C.A., known as the Canton of Brokenbridge, located within the Crown Province of Ostgardr covering New York City and the counties of Nassau, Westchester and Putnam.
