Susan,
No, you do not need a Philmont Physical for most Philmont training -
If you haven't, you will be receiving a booklet in the mail explaining this
That lack of a full physical is one of the reasons they do not let PTC
participants in the back country -
They don't know how healthy you are or aren't
As staff member, my daughter has received a copy of the 2004 Family
Guidebook
On page 10 it states,
Particpants in Mountain Treks, NJLIC and adults attending conferences that
venture into the backcountry are required to bring a completed Philmont
Health and Medical record
Trailblazers (Boys 11 - 13) and Mustangs (Girls 11 - 13) are required to
bring a completed Philmont Health and Medical record OR A completed BSA
Class 3 Physical
All other participants, spouses and family members in groups not listed
above are asked to complete and bring the Personal Health and Medical
Summary contained in your PTC Packet. Do not send any health forms in
advance of your arrival!
Have a great time at PTC. I always do!!
