The program at Philmont is the scenery.
The functions that are done at staff camp is a diversion. In my opinion, a
trek should not be choosen because it does one program or another because
you may not get an opportunity to do it because there is limited time.
Having said that, burro packing prevents the crew from hiking over Wilson
Mesa. That is too high a price to pay. What I would do is to learn how to
pack a burro but then decline the use of the burros.
