We will strictly enforce the health and weight requirements issued by Philmont Scout Ranch. Chronic health, fitness, and overweight problems will be grounds for non-selection or replacement of otherwise qualified adult advisors. Furthermore, our goal is that the advisor's fitness not be a limitation for the youth. The crew will choose the degree of difficulty of their trek without regard to the advisor's physical ability, and the advisor is expected to not be a limiting factor. Instead, the advisor should have the stamina to provide an extra safety margin for the crew in case of emergencies or adverse conditions.
Proper fitness is critical.
