[philmont] Interesting E-mail From Philmont

 It appears about 5% of the adults were sent home in the 6 days (using an average of 25 crews/day/2 adults/crew)....and yes our Troop had a scouter "who thought he knew best" sent home. Luckily we had a 19 yr old Eagle with them who was a crew member

It just amazes me that people would go there thinking "Since I am here they have
to let me go". I went in '05 (Trek 21 then) and the last thing I wanted was for
them to say "You cannot go". What a let down to my crew and to my son. I
worked hard to make sure that would not happen.

This is not new news. It happens every year. Unless you have been there, there
is no way you can understand why they have to be like this until you make that
first climb of altitude on the trail.
