[philmont] Philmont Trail Food

This is from page 21 of the 2007 Council & Unit Planning Guide:

"Philmont trail food is, by necessity, a high-carbohydrate, high-caloric
diet. The menu provides between 2,700 and 3,100 calories per person per
day. It is high in wheat, milk products, sugar and corn syrup, and
artificial coloring/flavoring. If an individual is allergic to some food
products or requires a special diet, suitable trail food must be purchased
at home and brought by that individual to Philmont.

Package each day's meals separately and write the person's name and
expedition number on each package. Upon arrival at the ranch, give the
food to your Ranger who will take it to Logistics. Arrangements will be
made to transport it to the appropriate backcountry commissaries for your
crew. There is no fee reduction for individuals who bring their own food.

Appropriate substitutions can be arranged for food served in the dining
hall by speaking with the dining hall manager prior to arrival at
Philmont."

The guide goes on to include information on a Kosher Trail Menu and asks
that specific questions be directed in writing to the Philmont Jewish
Chaplain.
