Attention philmont people (and other scouts who may go to Philmont in the future):
I called the guy who runs philmont and got some information.
The dates are June 21st to July 5th, 2003. The cost is about $1,400, which includes airfare, the trip itself, rafting, and all meals. The only thing you need to bring is a backpack, which must hold at least 4000 cubic inches, and any other gear.
We are very lucky this year because they have some spots open. 2004 and 2005 are already totally booked! There is limited space this year though, so if we want to stay as a group we can ONLY TAKE 5 PEOPLE. So if you want to go, you need to call or email me ASAP. Be prepared to give a $300 deposit, $100 of which is non-refundable. I'm getting some literature in the mail, which I'll get to the people who are going.
But back to the fun stuff:
Saturday, we fly into Colorado Springs airport. There are supposed to be 120 scouts in two groups going from our council. We ride tour buses around and visit the Garden of the Gods. That weekend, we also visit the air force academy, canyon city, Royal Gorge, AND we go rafting at Echo Canyon. We stay at some abbey place on Saturday and Sunday night. Monday, we show up at Philmont. We split into our crews, so we should be with about 5 other scouts and two adults. He said there were lots of adults already signed up, so I'm not sure if Bob could go. Teusday we set up, wash our clothes, and do a shakedown. Wednesday we start hiking, returning on Saturday.
It sounds like a great trip. Make sure to contact me if you want to go.
