Hi, I signed up to this forum to ask these questions.
I spent a while with the search function earlier which didn’t solve much.
  1. What is the process that you have to do to be enrolled specifically?
  2. If you do this for a (for example) brown scapular do you need to do another process for a (for example) scapular of St.Michael
  3. What is the requirements to wear a scapular?
  4. Can any priest consecrate you or does it have to be a Carmalite?
  5. Is there a minimum age? (I am seventeen)
Thank you.
 
There are quite a few differences between the Scapulars so I would suggest looking at the link below and looking at which one is drawing you. Once you have decided, see if there is a confraternity associated with it, and then it might be best to talk to your Priest.

Hope this helps.
 
I’ve never heard of any minimum age for enrolling in a scapular society. Obviously babies won’t usually be able to say the prayers…

There’s no requirement for wearing a scapular just by itself. There are requirements (ie, joining the various groups and fulfilling the club prayer requirements) for getting special blessings from wearing a scapular and for getting it blessed, but just wearing the scapular as a devotional object is something anybody can do.
 
Go talk to your priest. I was invested two weeks ago. Most people are invested on their first communion, so there isn’t an age limit.
 
I asked my priest to bless my scapular a few weeks ago, and he did. And then I started wearing it. Do I have to do anything else?

What does “being enrolled” or “invested” mean?

I asked a very good orthodox Catholic priest to bless my scapular, and I just assumed that he would have told me if that blessing wouldn’t alone be sufficient to wear the scapular…

Here is the site which will explain the brown scapular.
