In 2001 we had 3 youth in our crew that fell into the underweight category,
the smallest about 5' 2" and 85 lbs. All 3 were told what their maximum
pack weight limit was. In 2003 they did not weigh any of the youth at the
health recheck. I don't believe that Philmont will keep any youth off the
trial for being underweight as long as there are no other health issues.

Subject: [Philmont]: Scouts minimum weight requirement
Hi all,
We have a scout considering Philmont in 2005 who is 5' 7" or 5' 8" but very
slender (i.e. skinny). I have read what the Philmont Planning Guide says
regarding weight mins and maxs and that no scout 20 lbs over or under is
allowed out.
It sounds like if you or less than 20 lbs over or under (which is our case)
it is up to the Philmont medical team.
Can some of you that have been there tell me how this is generally handled?
Are there hard and fast rules? etc.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Troop 646
St. Louis
