Re: [Philmont]: 22 year old advisers

Excellent post. There are vast differences between 22 year olds. I can
think of a great many reasons why some 22 year olds would be vastly
preferred to a 55 year old, out of shape, parlor Scoutmaster.

I can also think of reasons why a less mature, less confident 22 year
old would not be a good choice.
