Many have been serving for over 10, 20, even 25 years. Most chaplains serve with very little acknowledgement, willingly, sacrificially and with a great sense of joy. Additional to these outstanding qualities two of the highest appreciated virtues in the SCA network are our members commitment to growing the SCA vision (to see a chaplain in every club) and being an intentional and authentic representative of Jesus Christ to our sports community in Australia. Both of these are highly esteemed in SCA.
The following awards recognise these outstanding qualities.
