S is for Self
Consider your ageplay ‘story’. Why does ageplay appeal to
you? What role or roles do you play? Are you a little, a middle, a big? A
babyfur, gerry, or ABDL? What is it that makes you an ageplayer versus someone
who just likes stuffed animals or Disney movies? Journal about your journey,
what you have learned about yourself, and how you ageplay.
Being a multiple-little is a bit different than being an ageplay-little. I don't play young, I am young. I can't stop being young and be an adult, even though I'm in an adult body. So that means some adjustment to this work to fit me. Instead of having 'how I ageplay', I have times when I am out and controlling the body, instead of one of the other alters.
I am one of the alters of Meronym. We share a 40-something female body. But I am a boy. I age-slide, so I am 8 or 11 or 14 years old. When I first showed up in the Meronym system, I was scared a lot, and very shy. Now I have a bunch of friends of my own, and I feel mostly safe and cared for at home with my family. My favorite things are Legos and Little Scouts, along with other things that I think are pretty typical for a boy to like. I'm learning how to do lots of things like paracord braiding and stuff. Most of the time when I am out, I like to be in my room and play by myself, but it's nice if someone's nearby. I don't usually do things with other people, unless it's stuff we do in Little Scouts.

C is for Create
Create a guide for those getting started in ageplay
including your favorite resources (books, websites, etc.), props (stuffies,
pacies, etc.), and clothing (diapers, onesies,hospital gowns, etc.) that help
you get into your special headspace. This could be a poster, a book, a
slideshow, or something else.
--OR--
Create something that expresses your role as an ageplayer. Example: macaroni art, finger-painting, or a no-sew blanket for littles, pinewood derby cars or bead crafts for middles, a chore chart or a list of rules and responsibilities for Bigs/caregivers.
But my favorite creations I've done - and probably the best fit for this step - are my Lego things. I did a Dino Park that's probably the most 'little-boy' feeling thing I've done. I used a small Jurassic Park gates build from Toys-R-Us, a T-Rex from a Minions set, and some other dinosaurs, and a tree from a Lord of the Rings set. I've gotten more dinosaurs and more Jurassic Park pieces since then; maybe I'll make a new Dino Park soon?
O is for Outreach
Pick at least three Outreach Items and do them:
- Donate at least five (or more) small items to The Box of Awesome to keep it full.
I've donated dozens of things to The Box of Awesome - and I keep the Box and bring it to every meeting.
- Volunteer to lead a troop event. Lead a craft activity, teach the troop how to play a new game, present our troop orientation, or manage an exchange of some sort for everyone to participate in. Work with troop leadership to schedule time for your event.
When we did our reorganization after our first year of Little Scouts, I presented our troop orientation.
- Put together an Ageplayers Care Package full of goodies (example: crayons, stickers, a stuffie, a cup, a paci) and give it to someone new to ageplay.
- Find and write to a penpal that does ageplay in another place.
- Have an Ageplay Date with another ageplayer - do something appropriate to your ageplay together (example: build-a-bear, cereal and cartoons, coloring together). Several other badges & patches have activities that would qualify for this step.
When I earned my Build-A-Buddy patch, it was a full-on Ageplay Date with another Scout - we had a whole day at the mall together, with a carousel ride and a meal and the Lego and Build-a-Bear stores and Dave & Busters!
U is for Understanding
Do some research into how others do ageplay, and journal
about what you’ve learned.
The other multiple-little alter in our system, Kiara, definitely shows her little-ness differently than I do. Where I like to do things by myself, but maybe with others nearby, she needs to interact with people to feel like she's 'doing it right'. It's like if they don't see her, she's not really out. We share a room, and it's mostly Legos, but she has a lot of stuffies and things that she can play with with people. She likes to color together, or play with kinetic sand, or have them read to her. She also likes to dress for people to pay attention to her with bright loud clothes, and I like to wear hoodies and not draw attention to myself.
Some of the kink-little age players I know just want to put on a diaper, watch cartoons with a sippy cup in hand, and maybe snuggle on the couch. Others are like Kiara, and need to aggressively BE little. Some are very bratty in little-space, but others are cuddly and quiet. Some are little in relation to a Big or other Little with them, and others are like me and just need time to be themselves.
It seems like props are pretty important to lots of Littles. Pacis, blankies, stuffies, coloring supplies, littles' outfits and/or diapers, and toys.
And it seems to me that people doing ageplay often include 'breaking the rules' as part of their ageplay. Like of course I want to have ice cream before dinner. And as an adult, maybe would make themselves wait, or even don't get the ice cream at all. But as a little, they can be sneaky and get the ice cream or ask their Big for permission.

- So maybe some ageplay is about interacting with people in a more direct way without all the social rules adults have to follow.
It seems like props are pretty important to lots of Littles. Pacis, blankies, stuffies, coloring supplies, littles' outfits and/or diapers, and toys.
- So maybe some ageplay is about getting the toys and stuff you aren't supposed to want as an adult, just because you want them.

T is for Teach
Share everything you’ve done above with other scouts, a
friend, or someone else interested in ageplay. If they are already an
ageplayer, teach them about how you ageplay, what you’ve learned from it, and
the resources that you’ve found helpful. If they aren’t an ageplayer, teach
them about what ageplay means to you.
One of the places I share about Littles kinds of things I do is this blog (https://paulsls.blogspot.com) or my brick-build blog (http://mmbrickbuilds.blogspot.com). And of course, there's lots of sharing together when we get together for Little Scouts!
