SUMMARY:Scarlet Guard Inn X
DESCRIPTION:Royal Progress:     \nShire of Hunters Home\nJune 6\, 2025\, 3pm\nJune 8\, 2025\, 1pm\nFraternal Order of Eagles #965\n1050 Eagle’s Nest Road Brockway PA 15824 \nFor this\, the tenth iteration of our event\, we will see the return of the Iron Tassel challenge. To commemorate this being the 10th Scarlet Guard Inn\, and since completing the challenge is a Herculean feat\, the theme for Saturday’s shooting will be The “10” Labors of Hercules\, which will of course actually be 12 Labors. These Labors will include three walkthrough ranges (one of which will be Archery Golf)\, a clout range\, and a plethora of novelty targets. Still on theme\, The Iron Tassel will include one other task. Since Hercules had to return to King Eurystheus between each Labor\, it has been decided that archers must also make a return to Royalty… in the form of completing a Royal Round at the practice range. The 12 Labors plus this Royal Round will comprise the entirety of the Iron Tassel Challenge. \nThose familiar with the myth may recall that Hercules was forced to do 12 instead of 10 Labors because two of his feats were disqualified; one because he had help\, and the other because he was otherwise paid for it. In keeping with that theme\, we will be offering an opportunity to “get back” some of those feats. Pre-registering for the event will count as “paying back” the payment\, and earn you a Labor token (which you will receive at Troll when you check-in). To return the “help\,” Juan Miguel will be accepting charitable donations for cancer research (the specific charity is tbd\, we will update this blurb once it is decided)\, and a donation of $5 or more will also earn you a Labor token. An archer may trade in up to two Labor tokens at the completion of the Labors in order to count as credit towards the Iron Tassel. It takes one token to be excused from the “standing” targets\, but two tokens to be excused from a walkthrough. Unspent tokens are yours to keep as souvenirs. \nScarlet Guard Challenge!\nAfter the Iron Tassel / 12 Labors\, the Scarlet Guard Challenge will once again be held. Any group with a seneschal may send a representative\, as long as that representative is not a member of the Scarlet Guard or equivalent order. Take notice that there are new requirements if you desire to compete this year as your group’s Representative/Champion in the Scarlet Guard Challenge. We are asking that you have your group’s Seneschal contact Scarlet Guard Member\, Baroness Thalia Papillon at v_girl15@hotmail.com\, with the kingdom you hail from\, the name of the local group you are representing\, the name of the group’s Seneschal\, and your SCA name to add to the roster. The Challenge Registration will close on Wednesday\, June 4th\, 2025\, to allow time to organize our paperwork for the event.\nFor all those archers participating in the challenge please bring a gift for the Winner’s basket to help celebrate their accomplishments and joy of the day’s events. Please bring the gift and your letter of support from your group’s Seneschal and present it to one of the following: Scarlet Guard Members Baroness Thalia Papillon or THL Máirin Ó Nialláin\, or previous Champion of the Scarlet Guard Challenge\, Baroness Marina Aragones de Navarra\, no later than 12 o’clock Noon on Saturday\, June 7th\, 2025\, the day of the Challenge. This will allow us to verify entries and begin the challenge in a timely manner.\nThe Challenge will begin promptly at the scheduled time that is published\, and letters of support that do not match our registration records OR cannot be verified will not be accepted at that time.\nWe are looking forward to seeing you all there in the very near future. \nArchers can also look forward to Friday evening\, which boasts the Flight Shoot (take advantage of our large field and see just how far we can fling our arrows) as well as the Night Shoot (try to hit glow-in-the-dark targets when the only light is\, well\, the targets).\nFor any questions about the Iron Tassel Challenge\, contact Juan Miguel (Terry Belles). \nWe have exciting news for this year’s Inn! As many of you know\, Aethelmearc now knows who shall be our three Premiers for the new Order of the Mark. All three will be elevated during the evening court\, and will be sitting vigil throughout the day. All 3 vigils will be held at the same location\, but in the tradition of the other martial Peerages\, there will a chance to partake of the martial activity with each candidate. \nThose who wish to speak with Rosalia about her elevation are invited to learn more about siege\, and if you wish to shoot with her\, there will be a ballista and range available! \nGodzimir has issued a similar invitation. Stop by his vigil tent and you will have the chance to not only shoot the breeze with him\, but a few arrows as well. Bring your own bow and arrows if you have them\, but fear not\, he has offered loaner gear if needed! \nMorien has also asked not just for advice\, congratulations\, and well wishes\, but also for those who are interested to learn more about combat archery to seek him out during his vigil. Bring your armor and any combat archery equipment you can\, but there will also be loaner gear for those wishing to try for the first time. Master Morien has also offered to conduct authorizations! \nIn addition to sharing his martial talents during his vigil\, Master Morien also wishes to share his bardic talents. He invites anyone who wishes to enjoy or\, better yet\, partake of the bardic arts to join him in a bardic circle around the bonfire each evening\, starting at 8pm. \nNotes:\nYour equipment will need to be inspected before you can shoot. If you are day tripping make sure to be there early enough to get it out of the way so you and our inspectors can enjoy a full day’s activities. Inspections are at the small building near the pavilion.\nDon’t forget sunscreen and tick/bug spray\, this is an outdoor event and some ranges take you through deep woods. \nThrown Weapons:\nSince there will already be plenty of arrows flying through the air we might as well set up some thrown weapons butts too. Bring your axes and knives\, maybe a spear or two and give them a throw. \nMerchants:\nHunters Home invites merchants to set up their wares at no additional charge. We had many great items for sale at our last event. Please inform the autocrat so that we can reserve a space for you. \nCamping:\nCamping is free! Please feel free to stay Friday and Saturday night. There is plenty of camping space and some already have regular spots but it is first come first serve. There is space for RVs but it is limited and there are no hookups and no dumping allowed\, please contact the autocrat ahead of time. Enjoy your own campfire or be sociable and join us at the common fire. We will have the main fire provided for socializing\, feel free to join in front of the pavilion or have your own fire. But please leave the site as you found it. \nThe Tavern:\nThe Food: There will be no feast at this event\, however there will be a modest sideboard open Friday evening and throughout the day on Saturday in the tavern.\nThe Games:\nWant to compete off the field as well? Two gaming tables will be set aside in the tavern with an assortment of games to choose from.
