Another sad policy. Why would you need to hold anything "over the heads" of
young men and women who have successfully completed a Philtrek? Haven't they
demonstrated maturity and discipline by completion of the trek?
In another arena I might suggest that someone in Council administration is Fleet
deficient, but that might be inappropriate on a Scout list. :-))
