[Moo] youth champion

[Shannon D. Combs-Bennett]

That is a very valid point.  I see that as a major hurdle which would
make having a set age limit important.  School age kids would be the
best, and for younger kids (5-10) only if their parents wanted to have
them considered.  I am of course assuming that most teenagers parents
wouldn't mind them being in consideration for such an honor.  

 

As far as comparing apples to oranges you are correct that it is
difficult.  That is why I think taking recommendations from parents and
other youths might be a good way to go.  Kids in particular have a
unique way of seeing their peers that adults may over look.  

 

Any other suggestions?  Should it be recommendation only or should some
sort of contest come into play?

I've thought of this idea before. How do we value the contributions of
children of all ages is the difficulty.
 
How do you compare a 16 year old to an 11 year old to a 6 year old to a
4 year old?

I don't have answers. :)

Greetings unto the Populace of Stierbach,

 

At this years baronial birthday we would like to add a champion to our
honor guard.  This Barony has many talented and hard working children.
To recognize the youth in the Barony we would like to add a youth
champion.  We see the youth champion as someone who embodies excellence.
That excellence could be in arts, fighting, service, or any combination.


 

We would like input from the populace, and parents in particular, if
this is an idea you would like to see and would support.  Also, if you
have any recommendations on whom this first youth champion should be
please write to us with your recomendation.  

 

Yours,

 

Flaithri and Rhonwen

Baron and Baroness of Stierbach
