[MR] Teenager abuse at Pennsic

[Terri Morgan]

Seems to me that the problem from the view of the staff comes from the mess
created in the Bathhouse and left for someone else to clean up each morning.
So the solution to that, it seems, would be for a set of teens contacting
next year's Pennsic Public Safety person and volunteering to ensure that the
space was clean before it was closed each night. They'd know who owns what
and where to take it and the adults won't constantly be hearing about the
dual problems of mess and crowded loudness.

I can't really say, "When my boys were growing up, we..." as kids back then
were given the right to help out in places like the troll booth, or spent a
great deal more time in each other's camps - something that doesn't seem to
happen now. Perhaps that is the 'mall rats' mentality coming home to the
SCA.
