It is still my opinion that allowing youth to switch between Rattan and boffer is a serious mistake that can adversly effect the safety of the youth combatants...
I see it as a non-issue as similar switches in calibration have worked in many other kingdoms with complete success. However, everything is open to ...
We have experimental weapons programs, could this be an experimenral program with a set time to be determined by the Earl Marshal and the Kingdom Youth...
Aye. That is one possibility open for consideration. This proposed policy is quite similar to a VERY successful Midrealm youth rattan program that has been in...
Part of the problem is that teens, like older people, are not all the same. We had a youth fencer from Northshield come to a practice here in Heronter. I spent...
This can be true for adults a well. We have all seen people who watch fighting for a couple of minute then breeze through authorizations while other practice...
Greetings to All We had a very similar discussion regarding this a couple of years ago. At the time the discussion started I was against youth rattan...
Well put. I agree, we need to make the change for the older teens, so they do not lose interest. I also believe that we need to more Youth Marshals auth'd as...
I would like to enter the following change to the proposed youth policy as it only seems reasonable. 7. If authorized in heavy weapons, the parents of a...
Greets! As a mom of two youth combatants, I would have to agree and second that suggestion for 'authorized' fighters to be allowed to switch. My son will be 18...

If memory serves this is already covered in current policy. Aengus ... From: AEyouthpolicy@yahoogroups.com [mailto:AEyouthpolicy@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of...
This is one of the other things I was wondering about. It is great that we are thinking about adopting new policy, but we also need to consider how that...
M'Lord, Does the Adult of said 16+, have to be warranted as a Youth Marshal? Since the current policy has only elected Ofiicers eligible for the current...
At large YM are also covered by the Society and our Kingdom for background checks. There are at least 4 I know of in my immediate area who has gone thru the ...
It says the parent may be directly involved in the training but I would be uncomfortable with an unauthorized adult fighting rattan against a child (even...
The SCA was asked to research the concept of ages 16+ rattan activity with adults being considered child abuse by the opponent and/or child neglect by the...
I was not aware that there are already other kingdoms doing youth rattan. I am still a little concerned about kids going back and forth between rattan and...
I think the background check confusion is because Countess Caryl asked that we *first* put in the checks with officers so as to not overwhelm the system. I...
I've asked cary about getting one done. She has handed the process over to the kingdom offices of youth fighting or minister of youth. You would need to...
The Midrealm has an active youth rattan program that allows ages 16+ to authorize youth rattan. With the exceptions of the East, the Middle, and AEthelmearc,...
M'Lord, It was stated several times, in emails, to the AE discussion list, from December 23 through January 31st. At the time my husband was a youth marshal...
Greetings all, the first roundtable meeitng to discuss the youth combat policies, in particular those policies being created to allow youth rattan (also known...
One doesn't receive the paperwork - one has to ask for it. And I believe they did want to do local officers *first* to reduce the flood of checks at the very...
He was an officer at that time, but he has not asked since. I will let him know to request the paperwork, and thank you for the clarifications. Lady...
