Whats the difference between a household and other SCA groups?
Unlike Kingdoms, Baronies, Shires and other official SCA groups, households are not recognized as official entities of the SCA. They are considered to be loose associations of people with common interests who may or may not all live in the same area. For example, House of the Lost Keys has members as far away as Texas, although the bulk of the members live in Northwest Ohio! Because they are not officially recognized by the SCA Inc., they also do not fall under any of the laws of the SCA that govern official groups. This does not mean that households run amok and wreak havoc! The individuals are bound by the rules just like every other person who is a member of the Society. It simply means that the Crown and Kingdom have no need to recognize or reward these groups.
