We are the local branch servicing San Antonio, TX and its surrounding areas of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), located within the Kingdom of Ansteorra (Texas- excluding El Paso, and Oklahoma SCA group). The SCA is an inclusive community pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat and culture (as it should have been). The lives of participants are e

nriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events. For more information about Bjornsborg, Ansteorra, and the SCA in general, visit bjornsborg.ansteorra.org, www.ansteorra.org, and www.sca.org, respectively. This Facebook group is a means of official communication and group coordination. As a reminder, the SCA code of conduct is still in effect (the full text can be found at https://www.sca.org/conduct-behavior-in-the-sca/). Online interactions can difficult, especially on a text-based forum without the ability to inflect or convey tone.
