[Archers] Youth Target Archery Marshal Program

[loreleielkins at aol.com]

My friends,  


You most certainly DO have input on what goes on, as I promised I would do in my term as DEM. I have in no way broken that agreement. That is why I posted the information to this list. Your input is needed on the structure and details of the program, which are not set yet.


No, I did not ask everyone if we should or should not have such a program in the first place, as that was my call and those whom I asked or volunteered to contribute ideas for a Youth Marshal in Training program. 


There is a very good reason why we have a young man already a Youth Marshal in Training.  It is not a reason I am prepared to discuss in a public forum. If you have an overwhelming need to know, you can contact me privately.

To my fellow archery marshals:
 
I am in agreement with Eldred's thoughtful and insightful comments.
 
I, too, was under the impression that this new program was a proposal under consideration and that Atlantia's archery marshals were being asked for feedback, when in fact we have just heard the program's already decided and already announced and apparently already populated with at least one youth. It seems our opinions as marshals had and will have no bearing on the program which we are now asked to implement.
 
I know this is a top-down monarchy, this game we play, so I will gladly do whatever I'm told. But the hypocrisy kind of bothers me. Am I even allowed to voice this without fear that I am too insubordinate?

Greetings fellow archers and marshals!

Considering Their Majesties' desire to align the laws and policies of Atlantia, I would recommend setting the YTAM age at 16 years old.? This is the age they are permitted to authorize for heavy combat and the age at which the Chancellor of Youth Activities has set for their?Officers:
1.7.2.9.2.2.1   All Chancellors Minor must be at least 16 years of age and a paid member of the SCA. 

Also, does this program fall under the same rules and regulations as the Youth Activities programs? E.g. background checks?

I'm a little disturbed that the deed has been done without a discussion of the potential rules changes first. If we collectively agree to a policy that is contrary to what has been done, I have no problem "grandfathering" the existing marshals into the program because it would be unfair to force them out "ex post facto".

In service,
Eldred AElfwald
