Rule # 3 for surviving Ethan: Be youthful and attractive (young and male helps)

Would you appear a few years younger if you lost a few pounds?  Is that grey hair all that important to your sense of self?  Now is the time to lose those pounds and color that hair.  Ethan likes everyone on his professional staff to look like camp staffers.  If you are young, attractive (height and weight appropriate), and male you’ll have a good chance of making it in Ethan Scouting.

If you are not height and weight appropriate, are a man or woman of a certain age, well…what did you think about being a DE?  It does beat not having a job at all.  We watched field directors and district directors demoted to DE positions, normally for no other reason than Ethan not liking their looks (or age).  If you thought this was going to be your retirement job think again.
