[Philmont] Beginnings

Chas,
   
  Well said. I would add one more step to your list, however.
   
  Lead by example and train harder than anyone else on your crew. Your crew will appreciate your efforts and you'll have a more enjoyable trek because you're in shape.

          Scott, here's the basic story.....
   
  Step one - find a group of well motivated kids
  Step two - sign up for a council contigent, otherwise you have to hope for a crew slot.
  Step three - Ask Cooper for a copy of his Phil guide, and follow it. CoopWright@aol.com
  Step four - give the kids the tools they need, and help them prepare for backpacking trips.
  Step five - get out of their way, and have fun watching them learn.
  Step six - go to Philmont and have fun
  Step seven - After the trek, get the crew to start helping others enjoy Philmont.
