Re: [Philmont]: Supper Cleanup in 2004

I was the Sump for Scott's crew, that is until the boys found out that there
was enough remains to make it worth while. :-))
I guess that's how I gained 3 pounds. I wish I had some Tropical Gorp or
Pineapple and blueberries.
We showed a brief slide show of our trip at last nights troop meeting. You
should have seen the look on some of the younger boys faces when we showed
them what a pilot to bombardier was. Priceless!
Scott and I remarked afterward how none of the other leaders we're asking
where they could sign up. I'll have to wait until after next year's
Jamboree to see if there is any interest in going with the Council again. I
know the orange t-shirts were not a great hit with the boys but we did stand
out! All 103 of us.

I also wish I had heard about the #10 can idea for chuckwagon before we
went, but then I probably would have gained 6 pounds.
Have a great trip for all of you leaving soon.
