[philmont] Morale Boosters

Thanks for sharing your stories, Tom. On a side note--if you are at a
staffed camp on the day of a camper's b-day--let the camp staff know.
Perhaps they can do something special. I can't count the number of times
that we baked a cake for a b-day and had the crew come up on the porch and
celebrate. If the crew was passing through, we often sent along a package
of donuts or some such treat for the evening. Or if it is a campfire camp,
they can also sing and celebrate at the evening program. So mention it to
the staff--they love to do something special for a crew. After all, helping
scouters have an amazing experience is why people work at philmont. (It
sure isn't the spa-like amenities!) :)
