The Crew lockers at Philmont are roughly 1 cubic yard, and each full
sized Crew generally gets two of them. They are barely adequate to
contain your regular non-trail stuff, and certainly wouldn't work for
coolers too, even if you put your stuff inside the coolers. However,
the Ranch does provide (completely unsecured) "open warehouse" storage
for items such as coolers and Totelockers, and you can store such items
there by arrangement. As a note of caution, I would call ahead to make
sure you can do this your year, since Ranch policies on such things can
vary year-to-year.
