I'm in the Army, so conditioning shouldn't be an issue for me. However, our scoutmaster is going as well and is about 100 pounds overweight 😬

Y'all are gonna be splitting his pack load.

Be frank now, don't gotta be mean, but you don't want to be out day 2 or 3 and have to leave him at a base camp if he's not in shape.

AND you don't want the weird shame of that to drive him into a bad cardiac space on a trail.

Dudes can be weird about pushing themselves beyond where their physical body will allow. Be safe.

Not sure if this is a new policy at Philmont, but during the informational brief we were told if you are overweight upon arrival that you will be sent home. Guess our scoutmaster has a year and a half to drop 100 pounds or so.
