RAYADO TREK - Older Scouts and Venturers (not coed crews) who have
mastered basic outdoor skills should consider applying for the
challenging and selective Rayado Trek program.  Rayado participants will
experience more of Philmont's backcountry and will have program
opportunities not available to Expedition campers.  Rayado is
unparalleled for developing outdoor leadership, group dynamics,
wilderness problem solving and advanced outdoor skills.  A Rayado Trek
encourages participants to attain a high level of personal growth and
self-reliance.
