“for some scout outings”

This policy is only applied to certain strenuous physical activities where adults want to lead boys- wilderness camping, hiking, etc

Weight is just one of the health items that is monitored
It is for the protection of the kids and the adults to ensure they meet fitness standards to engage in some activities

Can you see this guy leading a troop down the Grand Canyon? Out in the wilderness for a 3 day or week long trek?

Dont tell me about the 370 pound guys that can do it. Most can’t or shouldn’t. Believe me most policies like this come about because of someone’s BAD experience.

Pop should drop 150 pounds and apply again.
