RE: FW: [Philmont]: Females at Philmont

I am not the youth looking for female info for PHILMONT>

I am one of the female troop leaders who is a member of the PHILMONT email
group. I have been an advisor for Philmont in '99 and '03.

  I will try to find the original message and send the address to you so you
can send your message directly. THANKS for sharing your
experiences...................
