Mission
The Company of the White Shield is dedicated to providing a welcoming environment for new and established members of the SCA. Our mission is to provide hospitality, information, and networking so that all may explore their passion and share in the Dream. Functioning similar to a guild, our goal is to help people find appropriate mentorship in whatever they desire to learn and to enjoy the Society as a whole. The Company's white shield depicts the blank slate devoid of heraldry, representing newcomers, those who are returning or relocating, or who otherwise don't have a household or community to camp with.
History
The Company of the White Shield was founded by Albrecht Ostergaard who had been playing for years yet still had no AoA. He was not sure how to go about working to find his place in the Society and make himself known. He also found that there were many folks in the same situation as him and decided that a meeting place and home for such individuals was needed. This would help them find their place, network Mentors for searching members and help launch their efforts to create their Scadian lives.
