[Philmont] Ranger 2008

  I had been thinking of what to respond with. Dr. Bob made it easy for me. I would pretty much second everything he said here. Something I might expand on. Most of your time will be spent with the crew leader and the youth. But don't do that to the point that you ignore the adults (granted there will be a few that you would really prefer to ignore). Make it a point at various times to visit/talk/discuss with them, even if it is just 5 or 10 minutes a few times each day. Most times, they will appreciate that. First timer advisors will be wanting to ask questions (maybe even out of ear shot of their crew) and repeat advisors may just want to BS about the Ranch. Either way, hopefully both of you will learn something in the process and will improve your and your crews experience.

  Matt,
   
  Along these same lines, take thoe opportunity to learn from a vast collection of adults with a vast array of experiences in life from different parts of the country. Your summer should be aboutt 30% sharing your knowledge and 70% learning knowledge shared with you.
   
  That's the great advantage of working at a place like Philmont and why people tell that "it changed my life forever".
