RE: [Philmont]: Burros

It's true, but it was one burro, and the troop was from California. Their
entire council has been banned from Philmont permanently. The actual
council was named on this list about two years ago when this was discussed
pretty thoroughly (assuming the list got the story correct eventually :-)

Is this a true story or urban myth?

Subject: [Philmont]: Burros

An apocryphal story from Philmont last summer. We were discussing
misbehavior at Philmont. (The human sumping lawsuit story took an hour.)
Our Ranger told the story of troop from Japan that became so frustrated
with
the burros that they pushed the poor animals off a cliff. He said the
Troop
was permanently barred from Philmont. The scouts in the tent next to me
stayed awake until after 2 a.m.; "how could anyone do that?", "where were
their leaders?", "of course they were caught, burros would not slip off a
cliff without any gear on their backs." An unforgettable Philmont moment.

IWTGBTP, Tony
