Re: [Philmont]: 5 adults to crew?

> Our council contingent has 3 crews and 13 adults. Our council staff member
seems confident, from past experience, that Philmont will approve a 5-adult
crew if all of the adults are parents of participating boys. I think this
violates a rule against more than 4 adults per crew. Has anyone else had
experience with this?

...Personally, I don't think the idea will fly with Philmont. But take a look
at the adults: are any of them between 18 and 21? Philmont rules state a
maximum of 4 adults over 21 per crew. But if that isn't the case with your
crews, then you would need to talk to Mark Anderson who is the Director of
Program at Philmont to make an exception to the rule. It never hurts to try,
but I doubt your chances are very good. And I seriously hope you don't have
any Scouts on your waiting list - as others will probably agree, no one should
deny a Scout a chance to go to Philmont so an extra adult can go instead.
