A Protégé/Protégée is an individual who becomes a formal student to a member of the Order of the Pelican. In some cases, the student-teacher relationship is recognized at a formal ceremony, witnessed by household members, members of the Peerage and/or the Crown. A contract may be drawn up to delineate the rights and responsibilities of the student and teacher. Often, these contracts are actual documents that recreate documents from historical SCA periods, particularly in Western Europe. The formal relationship may able be recognized by the Protégé/Protégée wearing a yellow belt.
