RULES OF SCL

 

SCL strongly believes that the naked human body, whether male or female, looks much better without hair; that smooth skin suits men and women alike and that nobody can be too smooth.  The club has been formed to help those who share this view to meet in naturist surroundings and to promote the ideal of naturism without hair.
