RE: [Philmont]: # of tents in a crew

For youth protection three scouts should share a 3 man tent. This worked
well for our crew when we had an odd number of scouts participating two
years ago.

The single adult can sleep alone but not in a bivy sack or low profile tent.

Bear protection includes utilizing load noises when encountered, such as
whistles. So you can consider the snoring as part of your bear protection
program.

Subject: [Philmont]: # of tents in a crew

Does anyone have any feedback concerning the number of tents allowed in a
crew? We have 12 people in our crew, 9 youth and 3 adults. The problem
comes in with one of our adult leadership that snores equal to/ worse than a
chainsaw. No one is willing to bunk with him. He has no problem tenting by
himself, but that leaves either 1 youth or 1 adult (me) to also tent alone.
I originally planned to bunk with my son on the trail, and we do have 1
youth who is willing and really would rather tent alone. Regardless who
tents alone in this situation, this creates 1 additional tent on the trek,
with a total of 7. I don't know if Philmont would even allow a youth to
tent alone if not abolutely necessary. Any comments?
Thanks, Bob 721-B2 63days and counting........
