Re: [Philmont]: 18 year olds - Adults or scouts?

Randy--

You're probably aware that this young man will have to tent with another
adult. Whether you list him as an adult or a youth on your roster, he is an
adult as far as youth protection policies go. As long as you have your
two-deep leadership covered, Philmont itself doesn't care whether you list
him as a youth or an adult on your roster-- as long as you don't have too
many adults. I think someone already suggested that the roster decision
might best rest on the dynamics of your crew. If the rest of the youth in
your crew are a couple of years younger, it would be natural for the
18-year-old to function as an adult and let one of the younger guys be the
crew leader.

Subject: [Philmont]: 18 year olds - Adults or scouts?

> I have a vague recollection that a scout(er) who is over 18 (but not yet
21) could go to Philmont as a youth or as an adult. We have an adult who is
withdrawing from our crew and have found an 18 year old Eagle interested in
replacing him. We have 3 other adults on the crew so we aren't short on
adults. Should he go as an adult or a scout (is there really a choice?)?

the obvious even number of people in a tent).
