[Philmont]: Co-ed/Venture complications, was 4 MAN TENTS

I invite interpretation of the 1-person-in-a-tent rule with a co-ed Venture
crew. We have 5 under-18 youth, one of whom is female, a 19 y.o. "youth",
and 3 adults (2 male, 1 female). Sounds like 3 2-person tents and 3
singles. In reality, given that the female youth is daughter of the female
advisor, they can share, but one of the male advisors is the husband of the
female advisor, so it's a bit complicated. If there were no related parties
in the crew, I see no way around the 3 singles.

What are the rules on the 19 y.o.? If he were in a regular (ie. not
Venture) crew, he would be one of the adults...

I look forward to the discussion.

Thx,

M.

  I have also been told, (Can't quote from the book) that Philmont frowns on
single hikers by themselves in a tent. Can't have it both ways. If there are
an odd number of scouts or an odd number of adults, (or a number of odd
adults), you need to have either 1 or 3 in a tent.

  we brought 2 4man timberline a-frame tents for 3 scouts and 3 adults. It
worked out that way because one scout and one adult were brothers.

  If it was in last year's book we must have missed it and still went out on
the trail.
