[Philmont]: Opinions on Treking Poles

My son and I are going to Philmont in June in 2004 with the contingent from the Great Sauk Trail Council. It will be my sons first trip and my second (it has been 40 years since I was at Philmont).

I am interested in your opinions of treking poles. Are they useful, nice to have or just so much extra weight to carry around? If you have used poles, would you recommend two poles or a single staff?
