Creating a society/order?
Sir Edward:
Excellent and well done! I agree, I think there's a lot for chivalry to teach us today, and we can teach others in what we learn as well. It's part of what makes this whole thing so cool. :)
Sir Rodney:
Greetings Stormdelver!
I'm a new guy on the block and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Congratulations on a job well done at the Blue and Gold ceremony. As an Eagle Scout and father to a future Cub Scout (next school year) I very much enjoyed reading about the production you put on with your squire. I know for a fact that those boys will NEVER forget that night.
You brought up a very good point regarding Scouting and Chivalry. There are many common themes, and intentionally so! I find it interesting, but not surprising, that my little sub-group within the local Twin Cities SCA group contains 3 Eagle Scouts, two former Scout Masters, a police sergeant and a teacher. Chivalry, Honor, Scouting and service to others are all cornerstones to a stable and prosperous society in any era.
Sir Robert:
This brings up what may be my defining moment where I believed in chivalry, its service unto others, there have been many times where I would have given my life to protect others, those I knew and those I didn't. Its not importaint where, when, or why, its only importaint that there are those that will stand for what is right and defend those who cannot defend themselves, where honor is not a word, its a life. I hope that maybe, maybe, each in our own way, we maybe plant the seed for the next generation.
I always dreamed of being a knight, but not for the attention, or rewards but for the opportunity to do the right thing and stand for more than I am. Our choices define us in life, and we all have had our tests, and failed at times, yet its that fact that we are here still dreaming of what should be that counts.
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
"I always dreamed of being a knight, but not for the attention, or rewards but for the opportunity to do the right thing and stand for more than I am. Our choices define us in life, and we all have had our tests, and failed at times, yet its that fact that we are here still dreaming of what should be that counts."
Classic !!!!!!!

Most elegantly stated good Sir! :)
I propose to all our esteemed colleges that we adopt this statement has one of our founding creeds of our order!
What say you?
