[Philmont]: Eliminating disharmony

Jim, I think this an incredibly important point to make. With all of
the preparation, the responsibilities, bear and mountain lion
precautions, the hiking schedule and the programs to make, it is easy
for advisors to lose track of the fact that the scouts are at Philmont
to have fun. For advisors to have your attitude, however, they need to
be in shape for the rigors of the trek. If advisors are not physically
prepared for Philmont, they will probably not be thinking about how to
make the trip fun for the scouts.

By the way, how does a guy with your experience show up to Philmont
with an 80 lb. pack and 10 lb. first aid kit?

My number one goal was to have fun.

I just worked hard at having fun with youth. I think the success of the
crew was having fun. Fun carrying an extra load. Fun picking up trash.
Fun
helping others.
