RE: [Philmont]: Age isues

Quoting from the 2006 Council & Unit Planning Guide - Page 1 middle of
the page:
 
"YOUTH PARTICIPANTS
2006 PHILMONT PARTICIPANTS MUST BE AT LEAST 14 BY JANUARY 1,2006, OR
HAVE COMPLETED THE 8TH GRADE AND BE AT LEAST 13 YEARS OF AGE PRIOR TO
PARTICIPATION. TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST OR EXPECT
EXCEPTIONS! REQUIREMENTS FOR PHILMONT PARTICIPATION CANNOT BE RELAXED."
[Emphasis in original material]
 
Show this to them (you should have the Planning Guide) - its really a no
brainer. If there are still questions, ask them what part of the above
they don't understand or is unclear.
 
Happy Trails,

Subject: [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.
