Remember:

We will be biking the Peninsula Towpath.
We are looking for backpacking spot
This will be the final Prep trip for the Philmont trip.
We will meet at 9:00 Saturday morning to place flags and flowers on the veterans' graves. Make sure you are in uniform for this two-hour service project.
Scouts will camp as normal with their patrols. There will be swimming and canoeing in the lake.
Parents and family members will camp and eat with the adults. We will provide all the meals. You will want to have camp chairs, bug spray, and your own tent. If you need to borrow a tent, let us know. We do have a few we can loan out.
If you do not wish to camp, you can come out for the day, or just for supper, whatever you prefer. Scouts can attend regardless of parent schedules. We do need everyone to sign up and pay no later that the Monday before for meal planning purposes.
The Troop will be taking up to 2 crews (16 youth, 8 adults) to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
The cost of the trip will be $2,600 which includes transportation, meals, shirts, hats, souvenirs, spending money, a truly all inclusive trip. We've budgeted for plenty of extras so you won't need to spend anymore as we included a generous "kick back" to offset incidentals and any extras you might want to purchase. See Assistant Scoutmaster, Christopher McMahan for more information. More information, and a kickoff meeting will be held soon to review details
Philmont Scout Ranch Address: 17 Deer Run Rd; Cimarron, NM 87714
The Philmont Crews are currently full. If you wish to attend, you can be added to a waitlist should someone on the current roster be unable to attend.
