Members of the SCA who have been recognized by their Kingdoms for their service & participation.
We're not usually ones to talk about awards, but just this once...

A group inducted into the Legion may hang from its banner a schwenkle (small flag), bendy purpure and Or, charged with the initials of the inducting sovereigns. No more than one group may be inducted into the Legion during any one reign. A group may be recognized in this manner more than once, in which case the initials of the sovereigns will be added to the existing schwenkle. Established November 19, A.S. 29 by Gregor II and Christence II.
