Re: [Philmont]: What makes a good crew?

Dr. Bob and others,
This meeting is for Scouts, crew advisors and parents. The purpose of the
meeting is to offer practical advice and answer gear, itinerary and
logistics questions related to the trip out, the experience at Philmont and
the trip home. We'll discuss trek planning, practice and shakedown hikes,
as well as crew and advisor responsibilities.

We'll also be covering all travel, as well as sharing a comprehensive gear
review on what is, and what isn't, needed on the trail.

The meeting will last about one and a half hours.

Any important words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated, probably moreso
than information related to gear and trek logistics.

An example of something I'll be sharing with the group is "Expedition
Behavior" by Howard Tomb. It was something I got off this forum prior to
our trip last summer. It's the one that begins with Rule #1: "Get the heck
out of bed!" I think information like this can be more helpful than the
gear and trek information.
