Inclusion from Baron Wars. </b> Ceara described the youth activities at the
recent Baron Wars. Cynnabar is well
known for youth activities. During the event she never heard a child say
they were bored, nor did they pick up a phone or videogame. Since we
haven't had a youth officer [in the Barony of Cynnabar] we've had a drop in
youth participation. Can we change this? Can we work as a group to
encourage families to be more involved? <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal">Ceara
notes that to be a youth officer: the requirements are online. The MOY is
not required to hold the activities, but to organize them, explain policy, talk
to families, and assist other officers. There is valuable outreach to the
rest of the family when they come to the youth table. There is a
difference between having a class schedule and having all-day drop in
activities. Getting kids (14 and up) involved in what we do is
better than pushing them to youth activities. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal">Ceara
added that the kids at Baron Wars did a quest designed to help them find out
what they can do to be involved, they participated in the A&S challenge,
and they passed out popsicles. Good ideas that we can bring to
Cynnabar. <span></span></p>
