Do I have to become a Markland Member?
No. While we do encourage participants to become Markland members, membership in Markland is not necessary to participate in most activities that Scarlet Cross sponsors. Nearly all of our events are open to all Rutgers University students, staff, faculty, and alumni, (and their guests). The only real exception to this regulation is in the case of armored combat. Due to insurance issues and University safety regulations, we can only allow those participants who are current paying and registered members of Markland to participate in any of our armored combat practices or events while on Rutgers property. Participants are also required to fill out an affidavit of consent (fighting waiver) in order to participate in armored combat.
