[Philmont]: Trek Planning Question

This is one of those "Do I dare even think it" kinds of questions. Just
wondered what might happen if the airlines damaged, lost or misdelivered a backpack
or two. Seems that their liability would be less than the value of the pack &
contents, but the worst effect would be that the Scout would not be able to
begin his trek without replacement gear... Does Philmont have any equipment for
such an emergency?
We will be flying United to Colorado Springs, changing planes in Denver, and
I've heard that United does not have a great track record for baggage handling
at this airport. Hopefully just a rumor. Any experience with this? Good or
bad - comments are welcome!
