Re: [Philmont]: Alternative to Philmont

Another alternative not mentioned is Impeesa Extreme, operated by Scouts
Canada:

http://www.chinook.scouts.ca/impeesa-x/

Our troop just returned from there --- I would give special emphasis to the
word "extreme." It was an exciting but physically challenging adventure. It
makes anything at Philmont look like a cakewalk.
