[Philmont]: Age isues

We have a parent/advisor in our Troop who would like for their son to go with our contigent to Philmont. He will not meet age requirements, close but no cigar. He has an older brother going. We as advisors have told this parent/advisor that he can not go this time, but hopefully again in the near future. I have not seen this issue come up in discussion since lurking on this list. Does anybody have any advise or stories to pass on concerning this issue. It should be a clear cut rules and safety issue, but what can we tell a difficult parent. Other than what we already have that the Scout can't go.
