We meet at the Scout Lodge at 2pm and hike the surrounding area with our Philmont gear and packs. If you havent been working on this on your own and regularly, please join us again on this weekly hike.

The comment almost every Philmont attendee has come with is that they werent physically prepared enough. Adultsthis is especially important for you Mr. Turner This week watch for an invitation to take two surveys about Philmont and Summer Camp. The national organization and Longhorn Council have asked up to fill out a survey on summer events and wed like to get your input before we answer Mr. Turner This month were toying with putting together a overnight campout later this month.
