[philmont] "Centuries of Experience"

To quote John:
  "just simply being a contrary old coot who is willing to share a couple of centurys worth of experience with you."

  Just keep sharing that experience with the group, John. I know I appreciate it.

  Philmont is not for Tenderfoot Scouts. It's for those with ehe necessary skills and those who desire to learn even more skills.
   
  Learning never stops.
   
  Don't hamstring your Scouts by making life so simple, so easy.
   
  The only wish I really have is that at Philmont your Scouts could gather wood in the rain, build a cooking fire in the rain, cook over it in the rain and enjoy doing so like we did back in 1959. .
   
  There were a LARGE set of values learned from that exercise and you appreciate the meal a whole lot more
   
  If you are concerned that a Scout might ruin his pack and clothes because of a loose gas container cap, for Pete's sake, take away his water bottle less he wet his pant

  PS My purpose on this list is to stimulate thinking on advisors parts, not to tell you how to do it. I am not being personal when I comment on a post, just simply being a contrary old coot who is willing to share a couple of centurys worth of experience with you.
