I am confused. If he is a crew chief and is under 18, how can he be a
scoutmaster? If a scoutmasters job is to let the boys lead. How can a boy
leading be a scoutmaster? As a lead advisor of our recent trek, I was
directly interfacing with our crew chief. In our case, he was a patrol
leader of a very good patrol. If he does all of the items listed in your
job description, I cannot imagine him being denied credit for a "position
of responsibility". Your adult leaders have the latitude to make that
determination.

the

> -Assign work teams for various tasks for the trek
> -Schedule and lead practice treks
> -Be responsible for having the crew t-shirt designed and printed
> -Be responsible for taking the required equipment
> -Inspect participant packs before leaving for Philmont
> -Lead the crew while at Philmont, and while traveling to and from Philmont
> -Properly document (in whatever form he chooses) the experience
>
> He will actually have a 15 month tenure (including the documentation
period
> after the trek is over), so he may get two ranks out of the assignment.
