[Philmont]: participant weight

Two questions for our 608-E crews this summer:

1. Being under weight limit is at Philmont, rather than on your medical
form? One of our leaders has been working on getting his weight down to
acceptable, but it was still above limit when he had his physical last
August. We're presuming it is his weight upon re-check that counts. He is
under limit now and still dropping.

2. A scout has the opposite issue. His weight is well below the range for
his height (25 pounds). Does Philmont Health Lodge worry about youth who
are "underweight" if their physician otherwise clears them for the activity?

If these questions need to be posed to someone at Philmont, who should I
contact?

Thx,

M.
