Hey all, be prepared is the Boy Scout Motto as we all know. For all of you going on the Philmont trek (and any others that want to join along), we will be doing at least two-three practice hikes per week from now til August 4th when we depart on our grand adventure!!!
I’m not going to lie, last night going three miles with a 50 lbs. pack was tough. Now with both Crews are doing at least one 10+ mile hike (my crew is doing a 13 mile day, and Dawn’s crew is dong four 8 to 11 mile hikes all in a row), if you are not hiking 20 plus miles a week for the next 5 weeks, YOU and the REST OF YOUR CREW might be in trouble!!!
We will have another practice hike next Wednesday the 30th at 6:00. Please let me know if you can be there!
On Monday, July 5th, we will have a Crew meeting for all Scouts going to Philmont in place of our regular Troop meeting. Please bring your entire pack with all of your gear for a gear check. If you have not got all of your gear together, please check out the what to bring section in https://www.philmontscoutranch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/2021-Guidebook-To-Adventure.pdf It is located on pages 20-25.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions at all, and we’ll see all of you here very soon!
Scoutmaster Doug
