Re: [Philmont]: Alternatives to Philmont

I'll second this one! We took a group this year (we're from St. Louis) and
the programs are outstanding. We weren't idle for a minute (if we didn't
want to be) with lots and lots of program time. The staff bent over
backwards for us too. I highly recommend it!
