What was the SCA?

What you wrote above seems to indicate that the Provost Marshal's office sure thought Aiken was one - if our guess at code is accurate. Wish we knew the year because remember how you found evidence of Aiken applying to Jefferson Davis for a job writing propaganda materials at the beginning of the war?

BTW to our readers: Christine is the wonderful researcher from Utah who got intrigued with the subject of Frederick Aiken, Mrs. Surratt's lawyer, and has dug up a ton of material. This man had many facets also and wasn't just "a lawyer" assigned to defend the lady. After the war, his defense education led him to prepare some papers in defense of Jefferson Davis.
