RE: [Philmont]: Very Small Scouts (was Pack size?)

One Philmont Trek timing consideration for youth challenged in
stature is "why now?"

For some, tipping the scales at less than 100 lbs, now is the time.
For others, (13-14 year olds) it's probably not.

Why put a boy in a position where he has to be at his peak every
single day to HAVE FUN?

Yes, Philmont is once in a lifetime, but it's not one chance in a
lifetime, especially if you consider Rayado, ROCS, Ranch Hands, and
OA Trail Crew.

Just food for thought.

Take each case as they come and do your best.
